[Les:] Joel - your statement is technically correct - but Ketan's suggested text revision is repeating text that is present in the first paragraph of the section.

Since the point being made is in regards to the semantics of the value field would this be more clearly dealt with by  replacing

//                  IPv4/IPv6 Address (Router-ID)              //

With 

//       4 or 16 octet Router-ID     //
