Hi Éric, 

Thank you for pointing this out. Since this is specified in Section 4.1 and 
there's an associated subregistry for the I-field, we've gone ahead and made 
the update:

Address Registration Option Flags registry: 

4-5     I-Field (2 bits)        [RFC8505, Section 4.1]

Please see
https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmpv6-parameters

I included the section number as it's not referenced in the IC section. If any 
other changes are required, just let us know. 

Thanks,
Sabrina
