question on semantics

Hi guys,
 
I think this is interesting interpretation issue.
 
Here's the task:
 
Mark all multicast traffic as DE except for routing protocol traffic. Don't
use a frame DE-list to accomplish this.
 
This applies to R1 and R2 between which ospf and ip pim auto-rp is running.
 
I didn't think this task was that difficult or tricky but my approach didn't
agree with the "official" solution.
 
So, this is what I did.
 
I created 2 acl's: 1 for ospf and another for all mcast traffic.
 
ip access-list extended MCAST
 permit ip any 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
ip access-list extended OSPF
 permit ospf any any
 
Then, I used MQC.
 
class-map match-all OSPF
  match access-group name OSPF
 class-map match-all MCAST
  match not class-map OSPF
  match access-group name MCAST
!
!
 policy-map SET-DE
  class MCAST
   set fr-de
 
 
When I compared my solution to the "official" one, I saw that I didn't
exclude as much traffic as the solution did. The solution, besides
excluding ospf, also excluded ip pim traffic and auto-rp traffic.
 
I don't consider pim or auto-rp to be "routing protocol traffic".
 
But, should I?
 
What does the GS brain trust think?
 
TIA, Tim
