Section 2.1 says:

   If sent periodically, the nominal interval at which Agent
   Advertisements are sent SHOULD be no longer than 1/3 of the
   advertisement Lifetime given in the ICMP header.  This interval MAY
   be shorter than 1/3 the advertised Lifetime.  This allows a mobile
   node to miss three successive advertisements before deleting the
   agent from its list of valid agents.  The actual transmission time
   for each advertisement SHOULD be slightly randomized [10] in order to
   avoid synchronization and subsequent collisions with other Agent

   Advertisements that may be sent by other agents (or with other Router
   Advertisements sent by other routers).  Note that this field has no
   relation to the "Registration Lifetime" field within the Mobility
   Agent Advertisement Extension defined below.


It should say:

Section 1.10 says:

1.10.  Long Extension Format

   This format is applicable for non-skippable extensions which carry
   information more than 256 bytes.

It should say:

1.10.  Long Extension Format

   This format is applicable for any extension (skippable or non-skippable) which carry information more than 256 bytes.

Notes:

As per description in 1.11
" This format is compatible with the skippable extensions defined in
section 1.9. It is not applicable for extensions which require more
than 256 bytes of data; for such extensions, use the format described
in section 1.10."

However 1.10 specifies that it is applicable to only non-skippable extensions, so what would be the format for skippable extensions of size more than 256 bytes?

The correction will specify that any extension (skippable or non-skippable) shall use long format if its length is more than 256 bytes.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Pete McCann, chair of MIP4 held a discussion about this in the WG and the conclusion was that the errata should be rejected.
