Section 8 says:

A challenge object with an error MUST have status
equal to "invalid".

It should say:

A challenge object with an error MUST have status
equal to "processing" or "invalid".

Notes:

Section 8.2 says that 'The server MUST add an entry to the "error" field in the challenge after each failed validation query'. However, if the challenge must then become "invalid", it is never possible to retry any validation query (because "invalid" is a final state for a challenge object).
This erratum is necessary to permit validation query retries to ever happen.
