i went to hack this and found i did not understand exactly what it is
you want.

exactly what text from 5.12?

5.1 says

The lowest-order bit of the Flags field is 1 for an announcement and 0
for a withdrawal

5.12 says

       Bit     Bit Name
       ----    -------------------
        0      AFI (IPv4 == 0, IPv6 == 1)
        1      Announce == 1, Delete == 0
        2-7    Reserved, must be zero

is it that you want 5.1 to change to

The lowest-order bit of the Flags field is 0 for IPv4 and 1 for IPv6,
and the next lowest bit is 1 for an announcement and 0 for a withdrawal
