Section 5.2 says:

The collection of SRROs is controlled via the
segment-recording-desired flag in the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object.  This
flag MAY be set even when SEROs are not used.

It should say:

   The collection of SRROs is controlled via the
   presence of an RRO in the message being processed.

Notes:

No request was made to IANA to assign a value for the segment-recording-desired flag.

As reported in the Errata, the segment-recording-desired flag is
unassigned. The flag is unassigned and therefore cannot be used.
As agreed to on the CCAMP mail list and the Stockholm (IETF 75)
working group meeting the the collection of SRROs should be
controlled based on the presence of an RRO in the message being
processed. That is, the segment-recording-desired flag should be
considered to be set when an RRO is present in the message being
processed.

Section 4.3.1 says:

   o new text:
      If a message contains multiple NOTIFY_REQUEST objects, only the
      first object used is in notification.  Subsequent NOTIFY_REQUEST
      objects MUST be propagated in the order received.

It should say:

   o new text:

      propagated in the order received.

Notes:

The original proposed text (below) is rejected because the presence of the NOTIFY_REQUEST object is not a trigger.
o new text:
If a message contains multiple NOTIFY_REQUEST objects, only the
first object is used to potentially trigger a notification.
Subsequent NOTIFY_REQUEST objects MUST be propagated in the order
received.

Section 2

Near the end of the second-to-last paragraph on page 5, RFC 4873 says:

                                                        [...].  The
   branch node of a recovery LSP creates an SRRO by copying the RRO from
|  the Resv message of associated recovery LSP into a new SRRO object.
   Any SRROs present in the recovery LSP's Resv message are also copied.

It should say:
                                                        [...].  The
   branch node of a recovery LSP creates an SRRO by copying the RRO from
|  the Resv message of the associated recovery LSP into a new SRRO
   object.  Any SRROs present in the recovery LSP's Resv message are
   also copied.

Rationale:  missing article.


Section 3.2

On page 7, the last sentence of Section 3.2 says:

|              [...].  This object MUST NOT be used when association is
   made according to the methods defined in [RFC4090].

It should say:

Section 4.1

On page 8, Section 4.1 says:

                   [...].  This includes the definition of subobjects
|  defined for EXPLICIT_ROUTE object.  The class of the
   SECONDARY_EXPLICIT_ROUTE object is 200 (of the form 11bbbbbb).

Section 4.2

In the second paragraph on page 10, Section 4.2 says:

Section 4.2.1

Section 4.3.2

The second sentence of Section 4.3.2 says:

on mid-page 17, says:

                                                             [...].  The

Section 4.2.3 says:

  In general, objects in a recovery LSP are created based on the
  corresponding objects in the LSP being protected.  [...]

It should say:

[not submitted]

Notes:

IMHO makes use of too sluggish language; talking about
"objects in a recovery LSP" or "objects in the LSP being protected"
should be avoided because it messes up the essentials of [G]MPLS,
the separation of the data plane carrying arbitrary labeled data
packets and the control plane (with RSVP-TE carrying the TE objects).
Unfortunately, similar language recurs at other places in the RFC;
for the sake of brevity, I refrain from listing all those instances
below.

I would appreciate very much future derived and/or related work to
return to a more precise language.

from pending
--VERIFIER NOTES--
There has long been a conflation of "LSP" to mean the data plane entity (connection) and the also the control plane state necessary to maintain the data plane entity. The body of people working in the MPLS and CCAMP working groups are used to this and can readily deduce which meaning is intended. Additional text is added when the author believes it is important to make an explicity distinction.

Since this Erratum is not specifically actionable on this RFC, it is rejected.

The rules given in the two paragraphs on top of page 18,

   The resulting Path message is used to create the recovery LSP.  While
   the recovery LSP exists, the PROTECTION object in the original Path
   message  (unless overridden by local policy) MUST also be updated
   with the In-Place bit set (1).  From this point on, Standard Path
   message processing is used in processing the resulting and original
   Path messages.

   The merge node of a dynamically controlled recovery LSP SHOULD reset
   (0) the In-Place bit in the PROTECTION object of the outgoing Path
   message associated with the terminated recovery LSP.

apparently make dynamic 'overlapping' segment protection impossible.

One scenario that came to my mind was node failure protection
envisioned to be implemented by recovery LSPs for the primary LSP
A-B-C-D-E-F-G, depicted as follows:

                  H ----- I   J ----- K
                 /         \ /         \
          A --- B --- C --- D --- E --- F --- G
           \         / \         / \         /
            L ----- M   N ----- O   P ----- Q

The specified rules apparently inhibit the setup of such overlapping
segment protection LSPs.  Has this been intended ?

It should say:

--VERIFIER NOTES--
This is not an Erratum. If there is technical discussion to be had about the function enabled or prohibited by the specification, and the requirements for the provision of services in a network, these need to be taken to the CCAMP mailing list and might result in a revision to the RFC or a new draft.

Section 7 says:

   This section presents the RSVP message related formats as modified by
   this document.  Where they differ, formats for unidirectional LSPs
   are presented separately from bidirectional LSPs.

It should say:

   This section presents the RSVP-TE message related formats as modified
   by this document.  Where they differ, formats for unidirectional LSPs
   are presented separately from bidirectional LSPs.

Notes:

Does not confine the scope of the specification as it
would be appropriate.

'Classic' RSVP (RFC 2205) is neither covered nor affected by the
subsequently specified (extended) message formats.

from pending
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Although it is true that there is some common distinction between "classic" RSVP and RSVP-TE, the IP protocol number is the same, and the message numbers (and registry) are the same. In essence, there is just one protocol with two uses.
