Re: [IPFIX] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5102 (4984)

I should point out that although RFC 5102 has been obsoleted by RFC 
7012, 7012 doesn't actually contain any Information Element definitions; 
it simply points to IANA's IPFIX registry as the normative reference for 
Element definitions.

So the issue doesn't arise in 7012, and I suspect it's not possible to 
raise an errata against the registry.
