Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for the thorough review.
Apologies for the delay. Procrastination and holiday came in the way.

We went back and forth on this (and so do I see IESG did).
Instead of updating 6275, we ended up making 6275 a normative reference.

Yes, the purpose of IANA-TBD was for it to be a reference to the yet to be created IANA registry.
And would be updated as appropriate by IANA/RFC-Editor

Done.

Capitalisation done.
I ended up leaning towards not referencing 8126. As most documents with IANA considerations don't. To be consistent.

Thanks. Fixed.

Thanks. Fixed.
Spelled it out with new title:  IANA Considerations for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix Information Option Flags
