I just have a few comments/questions on this draft. Overall, it is in pretty
good shape...

1. Section 2.2.3 looks like a complete re-production of RFC 5952, but I don't
see a reference to 5952. Is the intent to deprecate 5952 since its content is
now contained within 4291bis?

2. Section 2.6.1 captures some information about reserved IPv6 multicast
addresses, but not all of them. I think it would be beneficial to point to the
IPv6 Multicast Address Allocation registry maintained by IANA, much like the
way Section 2.3 points to the IANA registries.

3. Also in Section 2.6.1, the names of reserved addresses, like "All Nodes
Addresses", were made all lowercase. Was that intentional? Given that IANA
refers to them with capitalization, it would seem that we need to be
consistent. So, I would either retain the capitalization in this document or
ensure that Section 3 directs IANA to update the names in the registries.
