Section 3., paragraph 0:
> 3. Rejected Potential Solution

  This section would make a good appendix.


Section 4.1., paragraph 6:
>    The Node IPv4 Local Address sub-TLV length is in octets. It is the
>    sum of all n IPv4 Address encodings in the sub-TLV where n is the
>    number of local addresses included in the sub-TLV.

  You mean: sum of the *lengths* of all n IPv4 encodings (each of which
  is 5 octets.)


Section 4.1., paragraph 10:
>    This encoding consumes (PrefixLength +
>    31) / 32) 32-bit words.

  The length calculation needs to be rounded up to be accurate.


Section 4.1., paragraph 11:
>    The Node IPv6 Local Address sub-TLV length is in octets. It is the
>    sum of all n IPv6 Address encodings in the sub-TLV where n is the
>    number of local addresses included in the sub-TLV.

  "sum of *lengths*" (see above)

Voting "Yes" but please consider fixing these nits...

Section 2.1
   For the above reasons this document proposes an enhancement to OSPF
   TE extensions to advertise the local addresses of a node.

Section 4.1
   The Node IPv4 Local Address sub-TLV length is in octets. It is the
   sum of all n IPv4 Address encodings in the sub-TLV where n is the
   number of local addresses included in the sub-TLV.
The use of "sum" is confusing. Perhaps "sum of the lengths"?

Section 4.1
   The Node IPv6 Local Address sub-TLV length is in octets. It is the
   sum of all n IPv6 Address encodings in the sub-TLV where n is the
   number of local addresses included in the sub-TLV.

Section 4.2
   The node attribute TLV must appear in exactly one TE LSA originated
   by a router. Furthermore, only one node attribute TLV must be
   advertised in such a LSA. A node attribute TLV must carry at most one
   Node IPv4 Local Address sub-TLV and at most one Node IPv6 Local
   Address sub-TLV.
I thought that the node attribute TLV was optional, so this looks off. I also wonder if this can be reworded in 2119 langauge.
   The node attribute TLV MUST NOT appear in more than one TE LSA 
   originated by a router. Furthermore, such an LSA MUST NOT include
   more than one node attribute TLV. A node attribute TLV MUST NOT carry
   more than one of each of the Node IPv4 Local Address sub-TLV and the
   Node IPv6 Local Address sub-TLV.

On page 6:
   PrefixOptions is an 8-bit field describing various capabilities
   associated with the prefix [RFC5340].

I think a pointer to Appendix A.4.1.1 in RFC 5340 would be helpful here.

4.2. Operation

   The node attribute TLV must appear in exactly one TE LSA originated
   by a router. Furthermore, only one node attribute TLV must be
   advertised in such a LSA. A node attribute TLV must carry at most one
   Node IPv4 Local Address sub-TLV and at most one Node IPv6 Local
   Address sub-TLV.

It looks like this section should be using "MUST"s instead of "must"s.

In the IANA considerations section: 

>   IANA is requested to maintain the registry for the sub-TLVs of the
   node attribute TLV and reserve value 1 for Node IPv4 Local Address
   sub-TLV and value 2 for Node IPv6 Local Address sub-TLV.

'... to create and maintain the resgistry ...' seems more appropriate.
