Section 2, mid-pg.4 says:
The use of LF without CR is questionable; see Appendix B for more
discussion. The newer control characters IND (U+0084) and NEL ("Next
Line", U+0085) might have been used to disambiguate the various line-
ending situations, but, because their use has not been established on
the Internet, because many protocols require CRLF, and because IND
| and NEL fall within the "C1 Controls" group (see below), they MUST
NOT be used. [...]
^^^^^
It should say:

Notes:
The only relevant discussion of "C1 Controls" in the document
is in bullet 3 within the same section, on the preceding page.
Hence, "below" is misleading for the reader and needs to be
replaced to correctly say "above".
