Section 2 says:

An ER server is a logical entity; 
the home ER server is located on the same backend authentication 
server as the EAP server in the home domain.  The local ER server 
may not necessarily be a full EAP server.

It should say:

An ER server is a logical entity; 
it may not necessarily be co-located with, or physically part of, 
a full EAP server. 

Notes:

The original text makes two unwarranted assumptions, which the corrected text eliminates. The first assumption is that the EAP server in the home domain is located on a back-end authentication (i.e., AAA) server; the second that the home ERP server is also located there. Neither of these conditions are required and place unnecessary restrictions upon deployment options.
