COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Section 7.3:

   A device that wishes to refresh its state, e.g., upon reboot if it
   may have lost some registration state, SHOULD send an asynchronous
   NA(EARO) with this new status value. That asynchronous multicast
   NA(EARO) SHOULD be sent to the all-nodes link scope multicast address
   (ff02::1) and Target MUST be set to the link local address that was
   exposed previously by this node to accept registrations

"SHOULD" gives me a choice.  So if I want to refresh my state, but I don't do
those things, has my state still been reset?  I'm not sure you want SHOULD
here, and it feels like at least one of these needs to be MUST, or you could
just change "SHOULD send" to "sends" to make it normal behavior when wants to
reset state.

In Section 2.3, you define these terms, but never use them: 6BBR, AMC, AMR.
