Excellent point. It is only that latest. But for us was so obvious that we did 
not explicitly mention this point. We will add an explicit sentence.

Map-registers and related operation are defined in 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis/ 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis/>.
This document does not modify its functioning.

Discard. We will add text to clarify this action.

This is again defined in  
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis/ 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis/>.
This document does not modify its functioning.

Yes, thank you for spotting this typo.

What about this formulation:

An update in the version number 
   (i.e., a newer version) MUST consist in an increment by one the older
   version number (only exception is for the Null Map-Version as
   explained in at the end of Section 6.1 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lisp-6834bis#section-6.1>).

Is it OK?

That is explained in detail in Section 7. We will add an forward reference to 
that section.


Thanks

Ciao
