Throughout the document, when it says:

Prefer: respond-async, wait=100
Prefer: handling=lenient

Prefer: handling=lenient, wait=100, respond-async

Prefer: respond-async, wait=10
Prefer: priority=5

Prefer: respond-async, wait=10

It should say:

Prefer: respond-async; wait=100
Prefer: handling=lenient

Prefer: handling=lenient; wait=100; respond-async

Prefer: respond-async; wait=10
Prefer: priority=5

Prefer: respond-async; wait=10

Notes:

The ABNF in Section 2 says that preferences are separated with ";", but some of the examples use ",".
--VERIFIER NOTES--
The document is correct as is stands. The commas are separating
multiple preferences in a single header, as described in RFC 7230,
Section 7. The ABNF in Section 2 specifies how to separate parameters
within a single preference.
