But this could be said to "clean up" the IANA registry only, in my opinion, if the entries were removed, which would be a bad idea. But the draft does not remove these entries or simplify the registry, it annotates the entries. I consider the wording "clean up", as used here, to be misleading. I suggest the second sentence of the abstract be changed to "This document deprecates such ICMPv4 message types and annotates the corresponding IANA registry entries." and that corresponding changes be made elsewhere in the draft where "clean up" is used.
