Hi Ketan and *Gunter (AD),

Thank you for the clarification.  We have updated both instances of “prefix 
attribute flags” to “prefix flags” in our files.

IANA registry names throughout the document and let us know if you approve. A 
summary is provided below, and the updates can be viewed here:

OLD:
  1) OSPFv2/v3 Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV
  2) Prefix Attribute Flags field
  3) OSPFv2/v3 Prefix Attribute Flags Field registry

NEW:

  2) Prefix Extended Flags field
  3) OSPFv2/v3 Prefix Extended Flags registry
