I think the resolution of LL 58 re-introduces a normative dependency on [DNAv4]. The proposed resolution is: " This document uses the term "routable address" to refer to all valid unicast IPv4 addresses outside the 169.254/16 prefix that may be forwarded via routers. This includes all global addresses and private addresses such as Net 10/8 [RFC1918], but not loopback addresses such as 127.0.0.1." Yet the term "valid" is defined by reference to [DNAv4] in Section 1.9: " 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]." My recommendation would be to delete the term "valid" from the definition of "routable address", and also to delete the definition of valid in Section 1.9 and add the following definition to the terminology section: A "valid routable address" is a routable address which is either statically assigned or whose lease has not expired and that passes the reachability test described in section 2 of "Detection of Network Attachment (DNA) in IPv4" [DNAv4].
