You might want to look at draft-ietf-idmr-msnip-00.{txt,ps}. It
describes an generic algorithm for hosts to learn of external interest
(specifically for SSM). The advantage of not using PIM-SM directly is
that the underlying routing protocol can change but the host<>router
protocol stays the same (just like IGMP).
The advantage of running an experiment with PIM-SM directly is that implementations of PIM-SM are widely available now. Such an experiment does not imply that MSNIP is not needed, and I believe the results of such an experiment could be useful in the development and deployment of MSNIP.
