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.
