Section 5.2.1, pg.20 says:
EXT_AUTH, HET=1 Packet authentication extension. Information used to authenticate the sender of the packet. The format of this Header Extension and its processing is outside the scope of this document and is to be communicated out-of-band as part of the session description. | It is RECOMMENDED that senders provide some form of packet authentication. If EXT_AUTH is present, whatever packet authentication checks that can be performed immediately upon reception of the packet SHOULD be performed before accepting the packet and performing any congestion-control-related action on it. | Some packet authentication schemes impose a delay of several seconds between when a packet is received and when the packet is fully authenticated. Any congestion control related action that is appropriate SHOULD NOT be postponed by any such full packet authentication.
It should say:

Notes:
Rationale:
Improper formatting of hanging list item consisting of three
paragraphs, visually pretending two more list items;
flaw apparently introduced in final pre-publication stages --
drafts were formatted properly.
