Section 6.3, pg.12 says:
The signaling mechanisms defined in this document MUST NOT be used to | negotiate between using the attribute-value pair (AVP) [RFC3551] and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SAVP [RFC3711] profile for RTP. However, both profiles MAY be used separately or jointly with the signaling mechanism defined in this document.
It should say:
The signaling mechanisms defined in this document MUST NOT be used to | negotiate between using the Audio/Video Profile (AVP) [RFC3551] and | Secure Audio/Video Profile (SAVP) [RFC3711] for RTP. However, both profiles MAY be used separately or jointly with the signaling mechanism defined in this document.
Notes:
Rationale:
Nonsensical acronym expansion (introduced late in the process).
The correct expansion could have been found by inspection of
the References in Section 10.1, in the entry for [RFC3551] !
Only changing the bad expansion turns the sentence weird;
therefore, the above change proposal tries to balance the
language by also expanding "SAVP" and saving the trailing
instance of "profile" (being part of both acronym expansions).
