--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Jonathan Leighton <[email-masked]>
Date Reported: 2017-02-02
Held by: Martin Duke (IESG)

Section: 9.1

Original Text
-------------
If sd is an IPv4 socket, the addresses passed must be IPv4 addresses.
If the sd is an IPv6 socket, the addresses passed can either be IPv4
or IPv6 addresses.

Corrected Text
--------------
If sd is an IPv4 socket, the passed addresses must be IPv4 addresses.
If sd is an IPv6 socket, the passed addresses must be IPv6 addresses.
Use IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses to bind an IPv6 socket to an IPv4
address. Note that some implementations optionally allow IPv4 addresses
to be passed in directly.

Notes
-----
The erratum is a subtle change in meaning that would be a useful clarification.
