Hi, Bud.

It's a good point. 

When designing the sub-option 2, we intended to make it (Home Network 
Prefix Sub-options) specific to the sub-option 2.
However, it seems that we don't need to make such a limitation.

We'll change the 'Home Network Prefix Sub-options' to 
'Home Network Prefix options' in the figure for message format,  
and revise the texts as below.

In section 3.1.1

Old: 
       Home Network Prefix Sub-options

           Options associated with the IPv6 Home Network Prefix.
           Currently there is no sub-option available.

New:
       Home Network Prefix options

           Options associated with the IPv6 Home Network Prefix.

Thanks for your kind and helpful comment. :)

-Best regards, 
Heejin.
