Hello Benjamin

We're getting there.  I snipped the places were we appear to have converged.

Please let me know if the DISCUSS is now solved (we removed all ambiguity on 
the crypto-ID and forced that a key is employed uniquely for the purpose of 
this draft and for one crypto-ID).

More below:

Oups then : ) I changed the reference, also for BCP 26.

Please consider the changes in

Did we clear the DISCUSS?

This draft is really an extension of RFC 8505 and cannot be implemented 
separately.
But I guess it does not hurt to clarify a little bit. Maybe by changing the 
first paragraph of section 3 as
"
   Section 5.3 of [RFC8505] introduces the ROVR that is used to detect
   and reject duplicate registrations in the DAD process.  The ROVR is a
   generic object that is designed for backward compatibility with the
   capability to introduce new computation methods in the future.  Using
   a Crypto-ID per this specification is the RECOMMENDED method.
   Section 7.3 discusses collisions when heterogeneous methods to
   compute the ROVR field coexist inside a same network.
"
Is that readable?

I'll publish this with the changes suggested by Roman

Thanks a million!

Pascal
