Section 4, last para says:

   - The encoding type 1 has been allocated, defined as "native encoding
|    for the address family, but with zero or more PIM Join Attributes
     present", and this document is the reference.

It should say:

   - The encoding type 1 has been allocated, defined as "native encoding
|    for the address family, but with one or more PIM Join Attributes
     present", and this document is the reference.

Notes:

Rationale:

Section 3.1 of this RFC says (3rd para):
A type 1 Encoded-Source Address MUST contain at least one Join
Attribute. The way to specify that there are no Join Attributes for
a particular tree is to use the type 0 Encoded-Source Address.

Hence, having *zero* attributes in encoding type 1 is explicitely
forbidden.

Please alse have the IANA registry entry be corrected.

Moving this to editorial with the note that PIM Option formats are well known.

Section 3.2,1st para says:

   To ensure that a type 1 Encoded-Source Address is not sent to a PIM
   neighbor that does not understand this encoding, a new PIM Hello
   option, the "Join Attribute" option, is defined.  This option MUST be
   included in the PIM Hellos of any PIM router that is willing to
|  receive type 1 Encoded-Source Address.  A PIM router MUST NOT send a
                                        ^
   type 1 Encoded-Source Address out any interface on which there is a
   PIM neighbor that has not included this option in its Hellos.  (Even
|  a router that is not the upstream neighbor must be able parse the
                                                          ^
   packet in order to do Join suppression or overriding.)
