Re: vrrpv3 with global IPv6

Hi John

Since this is a PS,
I would say something like the following
is much more clear and describes what was intended.

   For IPv6, the first address MUST be the IPv6 link-local address
   associated with the virtual router. This field MAY also carry other
   addresses backed up by the virtual router. The global
   unicast address defined in [RFC4291] in particular SHOULD be allowed
   (but not required) for the second or later address in this field.

IMHO, an update to this RFC or Errata filed
would save time for a lot of people.
What do you think?

Regards,
Seiichi
