Section 6.7.10 says:

   R:    1-bit router address flag.  When set, it indicates that the
         Prefix field contains a complete IPv6 address assigned to the
         sending router that can be used as parent in a target option.

It should say:

   R:    1-bit router address flag.  When set, it indicates that the
         Prefix field contains a complete IPv6 address assigned to the
         sending router that can be used as parent in a transit option.

Notes:

parent address is carried in transit option, not target option.
