I have a draft version with this correction.
David, would adding:
When such a move
is done without changing the MAC address, the SAVI switches
will need to update their state. While the ARP may be
helpful,
traffic detection, switch based neighbor solicitation,
interaction with orchestration system, or other means may be
used.
to the end of 5.2.3 address your concern? I am not sure whether I have
the right end of the question here, given that SAVI can not create new
protocol.
Yours,
Joel

Old:
If the bridging topologies which connects the switches changes, or
if LACP [IEEE802.3ad] changes which links are used to deliver
traffic, the switch may need to move the SAVI state to a different
port, are the state may need to be moved or reestablished on a
different switch.
New:
If the bridging topologies which connects the switches changes, or
if LACP [IEEE802.3ad], VRRP, or other link management

I think you probably meant "or", not "are", in the second word of the
second-to-last line of the new text.
As far as I am concerned, given that David is happy with your recent change,
I'm happy with it too. However, since you are asking, if you were willing to
also accommodate David's other request (see below) by adding some text to the
document in section 5, that would be an added bonus:
A paragraph has been added to 5.2.3 to address all three of the above concerns.
I guess that's ok, but I would have liked to see some text pointing out that
a MAC move can be detected by the switches and used to update SAVI state about
which port(s) a MAC is accessed through.
So if you can do this, it would be much appreciated; if you can't do it, I
think the document is valuable enough to move forward without this additional
work.
