Hi Peter,

Please be aware that my comment applies beyond the scope of this single I-D.

Talking about this one, see [JM] below.

Thanks,

Julien

[JM] I have seen, but we cannot use an unanswered 2-week poll on the
OSPF list as if it were an RFC deprecating section 3 of RFC 4203.

[JM] You are right: there may be a hole in IANA's registry, probably
missed during publication process. But the RFC is clear: "The only TLV
defined here is the Link Local Identifier TLV, with Type 1". Only the
request for registry creation was missed, which could be very easily fixed.
