Section 8.3 says:

   When the value of this counter reaches the protocol parameter
   'Path.Max.Retrans', the endpoint should mark the corresponding
   destination address as inactive if it is not so marked, and may also
   optionally report to the upper layer the change of reachability of
   this destination address.  After this, the endpoint should continue
   HEARTBEAT on this destination address but should stop increasing the
   counter.

It should say:

   When the value of this counter exceeds the protocol parameter
   'Path.Max.Retrans', the endpoint should mark the corresponding
   destination address as inactive if it is not so marked, and may also
   optionally report to the upper layer the change of reachability of
   this destination address.  After this, the endpoint should continue
   HEARTBEAT on this destination address but should stop increasing the
   counter.

Notes:

The path should be considered inactive, when the error counter exceeds
the threshold. This is stated correctly in 8.2.

Section 9.2 says:

Once an endpoint has reached the SHUTDOWN-RECEIVED state, it MUST NOT
 send a SHUTDOWN in response to a ULP request, and should discard
 subsequent SHUTDOWN chunks.

It should say:

Once an endpoint has reached the SHUTDOWN-RECEIVED state, it MUST NOT
 send a SHUTDOWN in response to a ULP request, and should discard
 subsequent ULP shutdown requests.

Notes:

The text never intended the SCTP endpoint to ignore SHUTDOWN
chunks from its peer. If it did the endpoints could never gracefully
terminate a associations in some cases.
