Section 3.2.1 says:
... first paragraph: If a relaying or serving agent receives an article from an injecting | or serving agent that is part of the same news server, it MAY leave ^^^^^^^ the Path header field of the article unchanged. [...]
It should say:
If a relaying or serving agent receives an article from an injecting | or relaying agent that is part of the same news server, it MAY leave ^^^^^^^^ the Path header field of the article unchanged. [...]
Notes:
Rationale:
Cf. the definition of agent roles presented in Section 1 and the
first paragraph of Section 3:
Serving agents only forward to reading agents, and in that step,
the articles are not modified in any way.
