Subject: [pim] doubt regarding sending the UpStream (S, G) RPT prune.

Hi,
I have the following doubt.

Section 4.5.8 says 
when a router is going to send a Join(*, G), it should use the following pseudocode, for each (S, G) for which it has state, to decide whether to include Prune(S, G, rpt).

Does it mean that (S, G) RPT prunes are sent along with (*, G) Join messages only.

What happens if a router has only (*, *, RP) state and also (S, G) state with SPT bit set? Shouldn’t this router also send (S, G) RPT prune towards the RP.

And in the down stream state machine of (S, G) RPT, why is (*, *, RP) join not consider to transit to temp pruned state. It was considered in the New-v3 draft.  Why was it dropped in the later drafts?

Can you please explain from the perspective of macros to see if iam missing anything. :-(
regards & TIA
rajesh.
