Section 5.1 and 5.2 says:

Original Text
-------------
In Section 5.1:
This route MUST be advertised with two Route Targets, one corresponding to the 
MAC-VRF of the tenant's subnet 
and another corresponding to the tenant's IP-VRF.

In Section 5.2:
When a PE (e.g., PE2 in Figure 4 above) receives this EVPN MAC/IP Advertisement 
route, it performs the following:

The MAC-VRF Route Target and Ethernet Tag, if the latter is non-zero, are used 
to identify the correct MAC-VRF and bridge table, 
and if they are found, the MAC address is imported. 
The IP-VRF Route Target is used to identify the correct IP-VRF, and if it is 
found, the IP address is imported.

Corrected Text
--------------
In Section 5,1:
This route MUST be advertised with two Route Targets, one corresponding to the 
MAC-VRF of the tenant's subnet and another corresponding to the tenant's 
IP-VRF. 
The Route Targets corresponding to the tenants IP-VRF SHOULD be omitted if the 
IP address the NLRI of teh route is a link-local IPv6 address.

In Section 5.2:
When a PE (e.g., PE2 in Figure 4 above) receives this EVPN MAC/IP Advertisement 
route, it performs the following:

The MAC-VRF Route Target and Ethernet Tag, if the latter is non-zero, are used 
to identify the correct MAC-VRF and bridge table, 
and if they are found, the MAC address is imported. 
If the IP address in the NLRI of the route is not an IPv6 link-local address, 
the IP-VRF Route Target is used to identify the correct IP-VRF, and if it is 
found, the IP address is imported.

Notes
-----
As per Section 2.5.6 of RFC 4291, "Routers must not forward any packets with 
Link-Local source or destination addresses to other links". 

Therefore, these addresses MUST NOT be in the IP-VRF in ingress PE, and there 
is no need to attach Route Targets of the IP-VRF in the egress PE because they 
are used solely for identification of the importing IP-VRF in the ingress PE.
