Re: [radext] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5176 (4280)

[Alan DeKok <[e-mail]>]

  I agree.  There should be an additional paragraph after the paragraph below, saying:

...
   Error-Cause MAY be included in a CoA-ACK and Disconnect-ACK packet to
   indicate successful actions.  If it is included in those packets, the Value MUST
   be within the range 200-299.
...

  There is further discussion of CoA-ACK in the text describing the allowed VALUEs.  But there should be a short sentence in the Description, too.
