Section 2.2 says:

   asymmetric reachability
                  - a link where non-reflexive and/or non-transitive
                    reachability is part of normal operation.  (Non-
                    reflexive reachability means packets from A reach B,
                    but packets from B don't reach A.  Non-transitive
                    reachability means packets from A reach B, and
                    packets from B reach C, but packets from A don't
                    reach C.)  Many radio links exhibit these
                    properties.

It should say:

   asymmetric reachability
                  - a link where uni-directional and/or non-transitive
                    reachability is part of normal operation.  (Uni-
                    directional reachability means packets from A reach B,
                    but packets from B don't reach A.  Non-transitive
                    reachability means packets from A reach B, and
                    packets from B reach C, but packets from A don't
                    reach C.)  Many radio links exhibit these
                    properties.

Notes:

Discussed on Autoconf ML:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/autoconf/current/msg01119.html
Term non-reflexive link is "link to itself". To be replaced with either asymmetric, non-symmetric or uni-directional. Asymmetric and Non-symmetric are confusing as those are often used for asymmetric link metrics (e.g. ADSL, UMTS/HSPDA).

                Override=0

!INCOMPLETE     NA, Solicited=1,     Update content of    REACHABLE

or 



!INCOMPLETE     NA, Solicited=1,        -                   REACHABLE
                Override=0

                address

!INCOMPLETE     NA, Solicited=any,     Update content of    unchanged
                Override=any, No       IsRouter flag.
                link-layer address

Notes:

Section 7.2.4. says:

"If the solicitation's IP Destination Address is
not a multicast address, the Target Link-Layer Address option MAY be
omitted; the neighboring node's cached value must already be current
in order for the solicitation to have been received."

Consider host A has a Neighbor Cache Entry for a unicast address of host B with the state PROBE. If it sends an NS to that address, B will answer with a NA.
If the Target Link-Layer Address is actually omitted, the host which sent the solicitation would only update the IsRouter flag of the Neighbor Cache Entry and leave the state unchanged.
At retransmit timeout host A would send another NS, since the state is still PROBE. After some retransmissions the entry would be discarded, although it was obviously reachable.

With one of the above suggestions, the Neighbor Cache Entry will be marked as REACHABLE, even if no Target Link-Layer Option is included in the NA.

Section 6.2.1 says:

Default: 0.33 * MaxRtrAdvInterval If MaxRtrAdvInterval >= 9 seconds;
otherwise, the Default is MaxRtrAdvInterval.

It should say:

Default: 0.33 * MaxRtrAdvInterval If MaxRtrAdvInterval >= 9 seconds;
otherwise, the Default is 0.75 * MaxRtrAdvInterval.

Notes:

The original text contradicts the previous paragraph in the definition of MinRtrAdvInterval, which says: "MUST be no less than 3 seconds and no greater than .75 * MaxRtrAdvInterval."

Section 11.1 says:

   Redirect attacks can also be achieved by any host in order to flood a
   victim or steal its traffic.  A host can send a Neighbor
   Advertisement (in response to a solicitation) that contains its IP
   address and a victim's link-layer address in order to flood the
   victim with unwanted traffic.  Alternatively, the host can send a
   Neighbor Advertisement that includes a victim's IP address and its
   own link-layer address to overwrite an existing entry in the sender's
   destination cache, thereby forcing the sender to forward all of the
   victim's traffic to itself.

s/destination cache/neighbor cache/

Neighbor advertisement affects neighbor cache and not destination cache.
