Section 8., 6th para says:

          [...].  Values of the host part of the IPv4 address greater
|  than 0xFFFEF are not allowed to be used as context labels.
                                           ^^

It should say:

          [...].  Values of the host part of the IPv4 address greater
|  than 0xFFFEF are not allowed to be used to generate context labels.
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^

Notes:

Rationale: The 'host part' only becomes a part of the label
(The full, 32-bit label format is specified in RFC 3032 with
significant updates by RFC 5462, RFC 3270, and RFC 5129.)
Thus, the host part cannot be used "as" as label; the Corrected
Text suggests an appropriate wording.
