Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <[email protected]>

Section: 7.3, pg. 17

Original Text
-------------
   IANA maintains a registry of bit flags carried in the PCEP RP object
   as defined in [RFC5440].  IANA assigned a new bit flag as follows:

|  Bit Number  Hex       Name                             Reference
|  23          0x000017  Path-Key (P-bit)                 [RFC5520]


Corrected Text

Notes
-----
Rationale: 'translating' the decimal bit number into a 6-digit (!) 
hexadecimal value does not add specific insight and might even be
considered confusing; at most a hexadecimal bit mask might have
some additional value -- but it should be specified as an /8/-digit
mask in this case (the RP Flags field is 32 bits wide).
Because the definition of the addressed sub-registry (Section 9.6
of RFC 5440) did not specify a 'Hex' item and the IANA Registry
consequentially does not contain such column, the 'Hex' column
should have been dropped from Section 7.3 of RFC 5520 as well.
