Done.

The text is there, but the tag in the header is missing ("Obsoletes: 6833
(if approved)”).

The early values are already registered with IANA. This document is asking
to register the new ones which include type 15. And the values *within*
type 15 are documented in RFC8113.

The only place where I see type 15 referenced is in §5.1.  If that section
is "asking to register the new ones which include type 15”, then these are
instructions to IANA.

Regardless, a pointer from §11.2 to §5.1 won’t hurt the document.

Don’t follow.

This document asks that the LISP Packet Type registry point also to this
registry.  That is a change to the registry, which was defined in rfc8113
(which is the only current reference).  Updating the registry this way
should be signaled with an update to rfc8113 in this document.

I’m yielding to the lisp-chairs and Deborah for this one.

I see that there’s a WG adoption call for rfc8113bis.  That’s fine with me
— but I still think that the reference should be normative.

Thanks!
