All of that belongs in the draft, not least because it is not
exactly, precisely true that exactly 1 PPP session is involved.

Is the configure-request potentially modified with the appropriate MRU?
If not, then I don't see any point in the PPPoE discovery. 
If so, then it is wrong to say that only 1 PPP session is involved.
Maybe fewer than 2 sessions, such as 1.2 sessions or 1 perverted/NAT-like
PPP session, but not one, real, clean, pure PPP session.
