Two comments against MARP:

1. it sounds very much like Multicast Address Resolution Protocol
   (ION WG spells MARP as "ATMARP" but MARS (rfc2022) is known to be 
   applicable to NBMA other than ATM only),

2. There is S. Hanna's draft (draft-hanna-marp-00.txt) on 
   Multicast Address Request Protocol (MARP)
