Done.

Here is the output from IDNITS along with explanations:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/idnits?url=https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-intarea-v4-via-v6-05.xml

  https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info):
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     No issues found here.

  Checking nits according to https://www.ietf.org/id-info/1id-guidelines.txt:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  == There are 4 instances of lines with non-ascii characters in the document.


Yes. These are in proper names: T. Høiland-Jørgensen  and Éric Vyncke

  Checking nits according to https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist :
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  == There are 6 instances of lines with non-RFC6890-compliant IPv4 addresses
     in the document.  If these are example addresses, they should be changed.

  == There are 6 instances of lines with private range IPv4 addresses in the
     document.  If these are generic example addresses, they should be changed
     to use any of the ranges defined in RFC 6890 (or successor): 192.0.2.x,
     198.51.100.x or 203.0.113.x.

  == There are 1 instance of lines with non-RFC3849-compliant IPv6 addresses
     in the document.  If these are example addresses, they should be changed.


Yup, these are all in the "Implementation Status ( This section to be
removed before publication. )", except for 192.0.0.8 (which clearly should
remain):
"If a router does not have any IPv4 addresses assigned, the router MUST use
the dummy address 192.0.0.8 as the source address of outgoing ICMP packets
([RFC7600], Section 4.8, Requirement R-22)."

  Miscellaneous warnings:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  -- Found something which looks like a code comment -- if you have code
     sections in the document, please surround them with '<CODE BEGINS>' and
     '<CODE ENDS>' lines.


Yup, this is:
"draft-ietf-intarea-v4-via-v6-04.txt(443): Possible code comment in line:
#      DST-ADDRESS       GATEWAY                             DISTANCE. "
This is in the "Implementation Status ( This section to be removed before
publication. )" section.

  Checking references for intended status: Proposed Standard
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (See RFCs 3967 and 4897 for information about using normative references
     to lower-maturity documents in RFCs)

  ** Downref: Normative reference to an Experimental RFC: RFC 7600

Yup. That is correct — RFC7600 - "IPv4 Residual Deployment via IPv6 - A
Stateless Solution (4rd)" <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7600/>
