Section 5.2.1 says:

5.2.1. LEASEQUERY-DATAThe LEASEQUERY-DATA message carries data about a single DHCPv6client’s leases and/or PD bindings on a single link. The purpose ofthe message is to reduce redundant data when there are multiplebindings to be sent. The LEASEQUERY-DATA message MUST be preceded bya LEASEQUERY-REPLY message. The LEASEQUERY-REPLY carries the query’sstatus, the Leasequery’s Client-ID and Server-ID options, and thefirst client’s binding data if the query was successful.LEASEQUERY-DATA MUST ONLY be sent in response to a successfulLEASEQUERY, and only if more than one client’s data is to be sent.The LEASEQUERY-DATA message’s transaction-id field MUST match thetransaction-id of the LEASEQUERY request message. The Server-ID,Client-ID, and OPTION_STATUS_CODE options SHOULD NOT be included:that data should be constant for any one Bulk Leasequery reply, andshould have been conveyed in the LEASEQUERY-REPLY message.

It should say:

The Server-ID,requestor's Client-ID, and OPTION_STATUS_CODE options SHOULD NOT be included:that data should be constant for any one Bulk Leasequery reply, andshould have been conveyed in the LEASEQUERY-REPLY message.

Notes:

The term "Client-Id" in second paragraph sounds like client's Client-Id and it will be different for more than one client's data. So it should be corrected to "requestor's Client-ID" or "Leasequery's Client-ID" instead of just "Client-ID".

Mark Stapp reviewed this erratum and agrees that it is an improvement. Thanks!
