It cannot be an erratum.

An erratum indicated an error a the time of writing and that is clearly not the case.

Is the text " For example, the PW Preferential Forwarding status state machine as defined in [RFCXXXX (this document)] is in state "STANDBY". " actually in the MIB definition itself?

If so it's an update to the MIB (as explained in  the draft).

If not then why not simply explain the event's action on the MIB and not update the MIB itself?

	After looking over this just now - and forgive me as I didn't realize it contained a reference to 5542 until now - it seems to me that rather that including this in the RFC as "an update to RFC5542", this be added as an errata entry to 5542.  It seems odd to me to note that the single sentence represented here "updates" the RFC version, when what it does is really clarify it based on the new behavior outlined in the redundancy-bit draft, and even then "clarify" is difficult to use since it is more of an example of such a case of a 'dormant' interface.

Authors

There was on point that I notice that you did not address from the AD review and so I am picking it up as a LC comment:

In section 10 you say:

    "This document makes the following update to the PwOperStatusTC
    textual convention in RFC5542 [8]: "

This update should be recorded in the metadata (top left front page) and it is usual to put a one line note in the abstract.

Abstract


    This document describes a mechanism for standby status signaling of
    redundant pseudowires (PWs) between their termination points. A set
    of redundant PWs is configured between provider edge (PE) nodes in
    single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) applications, or between
    terminating provider edge (T-PE) nodes in multi-segment pseudowire
    (MS-PW) applications.

    In order for the PE/T-PE nodes to indicate the preferred PW to use
    for forwarding PW packets to one another, a new status bit is needed
    to indicate a preferential forwarding status of Active or Standby for
    each PW in a redundant set.

    In addition, a second status bit is defined to allow peer PE nodes to
    coordinate a switchover operation of the PW.
