Summary: Ready with issues
--------
Major issue:
------------
The listed changes from RFC 6506 include:
2. Section 3 previously advocated usage of an expired key for
transmitted OSPFv3 packets when no valid keys existed. This
statement has been removed.
I cannot see where this has been removed. In the last paragraph of
Section 3, the text starting:
In the event that the last key associated with an interface expires,...
has not been changed. Isn't that the text that should be removed? In fact,
shouldn't it be explicitly contradicted, to ensure that implementations
are changed to fail-secure rather than run-insecure?
Nits:
-----
"errata" is a plural, often misused in this draft as a singular. The singular
noun is "erratum".

This disclaimer logically cannot be needed, since RFC6506 was published

6. Security Considerations

It addresses all the security
issues that have been identified in [RFC6039].
and in [RFC6506] (judging by section 1.2).
