This draft is not "relying" on multicast.

It says that PCP servers which choose to implement Rapid Recovery choose to send restart announcements on their multicast-capable interfaces. Just because multicast is not available to some PCP servers shouldn't mean that no PCP servers are allowed to use it.

Allowing Rapid Recovery where available gives PCP feature-parity with NAT-PMP.
