Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that
should be fixed before publication.

This draft describes multicast support for proxy mobile IPv6.  It assumes
significant understanding of multicast and specifically the PIM-SM protocol.

Nits/editorial comments:

-- Introduction, 3rd paragraph

Remove the word business from the following text, please:

             Such approaches (partially) follow
   the business model of providing multicast data services in parallel
   to PMIPv6 unicast routing [I-D.ietf-multimob-handover-optimization].

-- 4.3.1

The fact that PIM-SM has three phases could be made somewhat clearer here. 
Suggestion:

OLD
   The granularity of mobility-related routing
   locators required in PIM depends on the complexity (phases) of its
   deployment.

   The following information is needed for all three phases of PIM as
   defined in [RFC4601].
NEW
   The granularity of mobility-related routing
   locators required in PIM depends on the complexity (specific phase)
   of its deployment.

   For all three phases of PIM deployment (see [RFC4601]), the following
   information is needed.

Also, is "deployment" the right word to describe the phases?  It implies
that not all of the phases need to be present in an implementation or
used, even if applicable.

-- 4.3.2 - 4.3.4

I would also suggest including the names of the phases from RFC 4601 in
these section titles, e.g.:

4.3.2.  Operations of PIM in Phase One (RP Tree)

-- idnits

idnits 2.13.01 found an unused reference and a couple of drafts that
have been updated:

  == Unused Reference: 'RFC2236' is defined on line 1047, but no explicit
     reference was found in the text

  == Outdated reference: A later version (-02) exists of
     draft-ietf-multimob-fmipv6-pfmipv6-multicast-01

  == Outdated reference: A later version (-07) exists of
     draft-ietf-multimob-handover-optimization-06

Thanks,
