        Ok, I will do so in the next update.

        How about this:

        "4.  Failover Concepts and Mechanisms

        The following concepts and mechanisms are necessary to the operation
        of the failover protocol, and they are not currently employed by
        the DHCPv6 protocol [RFC3315].  The failover protocol provides
        support for all of these concepts and mechanisms.

        ..."

Thanks -- Kim
