Hello,

sorry for another babysitting issue, but I still don't like this
formulation in section 4.1.1:

>  If we decide to use /127 for each point to point link, then it is also 
> advisable to
> allocate a /64 for each link and use just one /127 out of it to prevent the 
> Neighbor Discovery
> exhaustion attack (RFC6583).

Let me try to rephrase this paragraph:
> 
> Some operators also use /126, /127, /112 or an alternative prefix assignment 
> instead of /64 for managed links where addresses on the link are manually 
> configured, and according to RFC6164, a /127 is suggested,  to prevent, among 
> others, the Neighbor Discovery exhaustion attack (RFC6583).
> Please note, that not all equipment currently supports this option, so /64 is 
> still the safest approach and has the advantage of being future proof in the 
> event that new standards make usage of the other 64 bits for other purposes 
> or the link becomes point-to-multipoint, etc. Furthermore, some ISP hardware 
> has limitations in using prefixes longer than /64, so the use of non-/64 
> prefixes will use more resources on these devices. If we decide to use /127 
> for each point to point link, then it is also advisable to allocate a /64 for 
> each link and use just one /127 out of it. 

Other than that, I found no more issues.

PS: I also noticed that https://www.sinog.si has an invalid TLSA record ;)
