Table 2: New Address Registration Option Flags
It should say:
+-------------+--------------+------------+
| Bit number | Description | Reference |
+-------------+--------------+------------+
| 0-3 | Unassigned | |

| 4-5 | I Field | RFC 8505 |

Table 2: New Address Registration Option Flags
Notes:
Table 2 must use 'ARO Flags' or 'ARO Flags Field' instead of 'ARO Status,' avoiding conflict with the Status field. Additionally, the 2-bit I-Field (bits 4 and 5) defined in Section 4 is missing, making bits 0-3 unassigned instead of 0-5.
---- Verifier's notes ----
The table should have the same headings as the IANA registry https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmpv6-parameters/icmpv6-parameters.xhtml#icmpv6-adress-registration-option-flags (i.e., 'bit number').
