Section 2.1.1.1 says:

2.1.1.1.  V-Flag and L-Flag

It should say:

2.1.1.1.  V-Flag, L-Flag, and the SID/Index/Label Field

Notes:

Since the SID/Index/Label field is defined in this subsection, it's misleading for the title to mention only the flags and is a disservice to readers using the document as a reference.

This is also discussed in https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/56_LEEZvHDHrnkC98f7BtpOkkY0/ where Acee also suggests a broader clarification. The narrowly-scoped change reflected in this erratum seems sufficient to fix the problem I encountered; in my view, it doesn't preclude an additional erratum for some of the other matters that were mentioned by Acee if there's support for that as well.

Thanks to Tony Li for suggesting the wording.

<Andrew Note> I agree this helps clarify the text which could easily have otherwise been misread - hence the verification of the errata
