Acee,
I was, honestly, a bit confused by the wording. I thought the text
might be trying to say that premature aging is the only thing, or the
typical thing, that would get used. Both changes you list sound the
same to me, and correct the confusion.
The wording in Section 13.4 sounds to me like the router would typically
advance the LSA's LS sequence number to one past the received LSA's LS
sequence number, then originate a new LSA. Premature aging, discussed
in the final paragraph of Section 13.4, sounds like something that gets
used only in special cases.

Hi Joel,
I agree with this errata as the existing text is grammatically incorrect. However, I believe the
intended meaning of the text is clear. I'd probably use "can also be used" as opposed to
"might also be used".
Thanks,
Acee
