After double checking with the diff and with Dino, it seems that the
first two points have been addressed already. Please find the rest
below and feel free to comment.

>> When a Locator record is removed from a Locator-Set, ITRs that have

>> will set the Locator-Status-Bit to 0.
>>
>> [AR] Since LSB are not mandatory and not used in many deployments we
