So, 2001:0db8:0000:0000 : 0000:0300:0000:0000
could be encoded
2001:0db8::0300::
Because in both cases there are adjacent fields of 0000
:-)
I agree that the way to fix this is either to withdraw and resubmit the draft
or file an erratum. I suspect the sentence might need more work. The entire
original purpose of the draft, as I understood it, was to clarify this type of
example.
