You're right - you missed it!  802.1p/D3 will say it louder & clearer, but it
was there in p/D2; unicast addresses may be registered via GARP.  We also
covered some of this discussion during the Wednesday PM session on p/D2 at La
Jolla; one of the editing instructions I recorded from that session was to
include text warning of the scaling issues associated with registering unicasts.

Tony.
