Reviewer: Adam Montville
Review result: Ready

Address Protected Neighbor Discovery for Low-power and Lossy Networks, which
guards against address theft, is almost ready for publication.

There are two points that may warrant attention by the ADs:

1. In the first exchange with a 6LR: "When a 6LR receives a NS(EARO)
registration with a new Crypto-ID as a ROVR, it SHOULD challenge by responding
with a NA(EARO) with a status of "Validation Requested"". Under what
circumstances would a challenge not be warranted? In other words, could this
SHOULD be a MUST?

2. The following sentence in 7.1 reads, "The 6LR must protect itself against
overflows and reject excessive registration with a status 2 "Neighbor Cache
Full"". Does that need to be a MUST instead of a must?
