The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5952,
"A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5952&eid=3884

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Richard Hartmann <richih.mailinglist@gmail.com>

Section: 4.2.2.

Original Text
-------------
4.2.2.  Handling One 16-Bit 0 Field

   The symbol "::" MUST NOT be used to shorten just one 16-bit 0 field.
   For example, the representation 2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but
   2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1 is not correct.

Corrected Text
--------------
4.2.2.  Incorrect use of "::"

   The symbol "::" MUST NOT be used to shorten just one 16-bit 0 field.
   For example, the representation 2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but
   2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1 is not correct.

   The symbol "::" MUST NOT be used just so. For example, the
   representation 2001:db8:1:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but
   2001:db8:1:1::1:1:1:1 is not correct.

Notes
-----
You would think this should be obvious, but I have seen actual discussions that 2001:db8:1:1::1:1:1:1 is correct syntax. Explicitly forbidding this form does no harm and stops all discussions in this direction.

Thanks for your work.
