What about the interaction between switches and the machines?
All interoperability is not about inter-switch/-router.

A few things that would be nice to have standardized (and then put into the
BCP document):

  1. Support for IPv4 and IPv6.
  2. Support for working correctly in the presence of PIM
     (I've seen switches get greatly confused by this, and mess up
     the refcounting).
  3. Support for SSM.

I suppose the standard would exist to define what _is_ a correct
implementation.
