Isn't that already stated somewhere? Seems like its a
part of the NAT behaviour...

Anyway, I believe we do need to say something about
the case that you mentioned. It is indeed possible that
an update fails in any of its stages, including RR. What
I would suggest is that if you don't complete the update
then you continue operating as if it didn't happen, and
be prepared to accept/initiate another address update.
