Section 4.4 says:

4.4.  Incompatibilities with v1

   The IODEF data model in this document makes a number of changes to
   [RFC5070].  These changes were largely additive -- classes and
   enumerated values were added.  However, some incompatibilities
   between [RFC5070] and this new specification were introduced.  These
   incompatibilities are as follows:

   o  The IODEF-Document@version attribute is set to "2.0".

It should say:

4.4.  Incompatibilities with v1

   The IODEF data model in this document makes a number of changes to
   [RFC5070].  These changes were largely additive -- classes and
   enumerated values were added.  However, some incompatibilities
   between [RFC5070] and this new specification were introduced.  These
   incompatibilities are as follows:

   o  The IODEF-Document@version attribute is set to "2.00".

Notes:

The XML schema in section 8, the main text in section 3.1 and every other occurrence in the document state that the IODEF-Document@version attribute has a fixed value of "2.00".

The impact of this change on the overall technical meaning is limited since the incompatibility with IODEF v1 still remains, plus, every other reference to this attribute is correct.
