Hi Bob,

I’ve sent a note about this on tsvwg list. 

However, I now see that I got a bit confused about this. I thought this errata and 4997 would add the same RFC in updates, which is not the case as you correctly stated below.

Errata 2660 was verified a while ago and the RFC editor actually added the respective update tags for that RFC. So we could do the same for RFC2460 and RFC2473 (meaning that if “Held for update” was not correct for this one, I can request the RFC editor to revert it). However, I would like to get further input from the group if that is the correct thing to do.

Mirja

It would be useful if the tools view showed accepted errata to the Updates header below the "Updated by" field (in the grey area at the top of the HTML of a draft).
