As background, the actual errata is at http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5226&eid=2715 In it Julian suggests (wdiff shows the proposed text changes): 5) Initial assignments and reservations. Clear instructions [-should-] {+SHALL+} be provided to identify any initial assignments or registrations. In addition, any ranges that are {+"Unassigned" (only for those registries that have a bounded size),+} to be [-reserved-] {+"Reserved", used+} for "Private Use", [-"Reserved", "Unassigned",-] {+"Experimentation",+} etc. [-should-] {+SHALL+} be clearly indicated. I don't see the need for this. "should" seems good enough for me. Also, the wording "any ranges that are ... etc." implies to me that the list provided are examples and if a category doesn't apply, you don't include it. In other words, I don't see a problem with the existing text that warrants bothering with an errata. But maybe I'm missing what the problem is.
