Subject: [Ltru] modification of Prefix fields

The current draft of 4646bis disagrees with itself on the question
of whether 'Prefix' fields can be modified.

In section 3.1.7, it says:

  The field of type 'Prefix' MUST NOT be removed from any record.
  The field-body for this type of field MUST NOT be modified.

But in section 3.4, bullet 4, it says:

  Values in the field 'Prefix' in records of type 'variant' MAY be
  modified, so long as the modifications broaden the set of prefixes.
  That is, a prefix MAY be replaced by one of its own prefixes.
