Section 14.2.18. says:

   This operation is used to confirm the sequence id usage for the first
   time that a open_owner is used by a client.  The stateid returned
   from the OPEN operation is used as the argument for this operation
   along with the next sequence id for the open_owner.  The sequence id
   passed to the OPEN_CONFIRM must be 1 (one) greater than the seqid
   passed to the OPEN operation from which the open_confirm value was
   obtained.  If the server receives an unexpected sequence id with
   respect to the original open, then the server assumes that the client
   will not confirm the original OPEN and all state associated with the
   original OPEN is released by the server.

It should say:

   This operation is used to confirm the sequence id usage for the first
   time that a open_owner is used by a client.  The stateid returned
   from the OPEN operation is used as the argument for this operation
   along with the next sequence id for the open_owner.  The sequence id
   passed to the OPEN_CONFIRM must be 1 (one) greater than the seqid
   passed to the previous OPEN operation.
   If the server receives an unexpected sequence id with
   respect to the original open, then the server assumes that the client
   will not confirm the original OPEN and all state associated with the
   original OPEN is released by the server.

Notes:

The OPEN operation does not return the open_confirm value.
