I do not believe that [DNAv4] should be a normative reference. However, the text in question does seem to mandate the DNAv4 reachability test: " For these reasons, a host SHOULD NOT have both a valid routable address and an IPv4 Link-Local address configured on the same interface. A "valid routable address" is a routable address that passes the reachability test described in section 2 of "Detection of Network Attachment (DNA) in IPv4" [DNAv4]." In this text, it does not seem to me to make any difference whether the routable address has passed a reachability test or not. For example, would it be ok for the host to have a routable address and an IPv4 Link-Local address configured on the same interface if the routable address did *not* pass the reachability test? Since that doesn't make sense either, the use of the term "valid" (and it's definition, which by the way is not the same as in [DNAv4]) is not required. Suggest this be changed to: "For these reasons, a host SHOULD NOT have both a routable address and an IPv4 Link-Local address configured on the same interface." Keep the [DNAv4] reference informative.
