Thanks, Marshall, it seems I'm not insane!

I think you're right there.  

Currently you have three options that I know of for RP:

Auto-RP -- cisco specific requires PIM sparse-dense within a PIM domain
BSR -- not cisco specific allows for PIM sparse within a PIM domain
Anycast RP -- not cisco specific but requires MSDP between RPs

Any others that should be added?
