Section 3 says:

   resolver:  A resolver is contacted by a seeker, consults a forest
      mapping server, and then resolves the query using an appropriate
      tree.  Resolvers may cache query results.


   tree:  A tree consists of a self-contained hierarchy of authoritative
      mapping servers for a particular service.  Each tree exports its
      coverage region to the forest mapping servers.

It should say:

   resolver:  A resolver is contacted by a seeker, consults a forest
      guide, and then resolves the query using an appropriate
      tree.  Resolvers may cache query results.


   tree:  A tree consists of a self-contained hierarchy of authoritative
      mapping servers for a particular service.  Each tree exports its
      coverage region to the forest guide.

Notes:

The server should be correctly referred to as "forest guide", there is no "forest mapping server" in the architecture.
