Section 17.1 says:

   If the router changes its originator address, then:   1.  If there is no Originator Tuple with:       *  O_orig_addr = old originator address       then create an Originator Tuple with:       *  O_orig_addr := old originator address       The Originator Tuple (existing or new) with:       *  O_orig_addr = new originator address       is then modified as follows:       *  O_time := current time + O_HOLD_TIME

It should say:

   If the router changes its originator address, then:   1.  If there is an Originator Tuple with:       *  O_orig_addr = old originator address       then modify it as follows:       *  O_orig_addr := new originator address       *  O_time := current time + O_HOLD_TIME       otherwise create an Originator Tuple with:       *  O_orig_addr := new originator address       *  O_time := current time + O_HOLD_TIME

Notes:

At the time of the modification Originator Tuple with O_orig_addr = new originator address does not yet exist.

Section 16.2 says:

   TC messages MAY be generated in response to a change in the   information that they are to advertise, indicated by a change in the   ANSN in the Neighbor Information Base.  In this case, a router MAY   send a complete TC message and, if so, MAY restart its TC message   schedule.  Alternatively, a router MAY send an incomplete TC message   with at least the newly advertised network addresses (i.e., not   previously, but now, an N_orig_addr or in an N_neighbor_addr_list in   a Neighbor Tuple with N_advertised = true or an AL_net_addr) in its   Address Blocks, with associated Address Block TLV(s).  Note that a   router cannot report removal of advertised content using an   incomplete TC message.

Notes:

Unnecessary preposition "in"
--VERIFIER NOTES--
From Christopher Dearlove (author):

The "in" distinguishes the cases of N_orig_addr and an N_neighbor_addr_list. The former is a single address, the latter is a list of addresses. Therefore one looks for the address as the former, or in (the word that should not be deleted) the latter.

This erratum must be rejected.
