Hi Brian and Bob,
   I went through the latest version of this document. It is concise and 
well written. I would just like a new verification step to be added to 
the receiving algorithm in Section 4.

This is the current text

"   Upon reception, a receiver processing NDP messages containing this
    option:

    o  MUST ignore the option if it occurs in a message other than a
       Router Advertisement

    o  MUST ignore all instances of the option except the first one
       encountered in the Router Advertisement message"

I would like a new step

    o  MUST ignore the option if it is not the first option in the
       Router Advertisement message

to be inserted between the two current steps.

Cheers
Suresh
