Section 18.46.3 says:

Operations other than SEQUENCE, BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION, EXCHANGE_ID,
CREATE_SESSION, and DESTROY_SESSION, MUST NOT appear as the first
operation in a COMPOUND.  

It should say:

Operations other than SEQUENCE, BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION, 
EXCHANGE_ID, DESTROY_CLIENTID, CREATE_SESSION, and 
DESTROY_SESSION, MUST NOT appear as the first 
operation in a COMPOUND.  

Notes:

In the section for DESTROY_CLIENTID (18.50.3), the following text exists (see snipped section below).
This means that DESTROY_CLIENTID must also be in the list for operations that are allowed
in the first operation of a compound.

<...snip...>
If DESTROY_CLIENTID is not prefixed by SEQUENCE, it MUST be the only
operation in the COMPOUND request (otherwise, the server MUST return
NFS4ERR_NOT_ONLY_OP). If the operation is sent without a SEQUENCE
preceding it, a client that retransmits the request may receive an
error in response, because the original request might have been
successfully executed.
