Status: Reported
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: Job Snijders
Date Reported: 2017-05-05

Section 8.1 says:

This document guards against the technical issues outlined in UTR36 by
REQUIRING "shortest form" encoding for syslog applications.

It should say:

"Shortest Form" encoding is REQUIRED for syslog applications to guard
against the technical issues outlined in UTR36.

Notes:

"REQUIRING" is not a RFC 2119 keyword.
