After looking over this just now - and forgive me as I didn't realize
it contained a reference to 5542 until now - it seems to me that rather that
including this in the RFC as "an update to RFC5542", this be added as an errata
entry to 5542. It seems odd to me to note that the single sentence represented
here "updates" the RFC version, when what it does is really clarify it based on
the new behavior outlined in the redundancy-bit draft, and even then "clarify"
is difficult to use since it is more of an example of such a case of a
'dormant' interface.
