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.
