Reviewer: Rifaat Shekh-Yusef
Review result: Has Nits

Section 7, Second Paragraph:

  “A node MUST NOT send more that one Source Prefix sub-TLV in a TLV, and a node
   receiving more than one Source Prefix sub-TLV in a single TLV SHOULD
   ignore this TLV.  It MAY ignore the whole packet.”

1. “That” -> “Than”
2. This paragraph implies that a node might accept the TLV with more than one
Source Prefix sub-TLV, but it does not state when a node can do that. You might
want to elaborate on the conditions that a node is allowed to do that.

Otherwise, the security considerations section seems reasonable and addresses
the issues that might arise because of the added flexibility of the source
prefix.

 Rifaat
