Section 5.2.1, pg.20 says:

   EXT_AUTH, HET=1 Packet authentication extension.  Information used to
                   authenticate the sender of the packet.  The format of
                   this Header Extension and its processing is outside
                   the scope of this document and is to be communicated
                   out-of-band as part of the session description.

|  It is RECOMMENDED that senders provide some form of packet
                   authentication.  If EXT_AUTH is present, whatever
                   packet authentication checks that can be performed
                   immediately upon reception of the packet SHOULD be
                   performed before accepting the packet and performing
                   any congestion-control-related action on it.

|  Some packet authentication schemes impose a delay of several seconds
                   between when a packet is received and when the packet
                   is fully authenticated.  Any congestion control
                   related action that is appropriate SHOULD NOT be
                   postponed by any such full packet authentication.

It should say:

   EXT_AUTH, HET=1 Packet authentication extension.  Information used to
                   authenticate the sender of the packet.  The format of
                   this Header Extension and its processing is outside
                   the scope of this document and is to be communicated
                   out-of-band as part of the session description.

|                  It is RECOMMENDED that senders provide some form of
                   packet authentication.  If EXT_AUTH is present,
                   whatever packet authentication checks that can be
                   performed immediately upon reception of the packet
                   SHOULD be performed before accepting the packet and
                   performing any congestion-control-related action on
                   it.

|                  Some packet authentication schemes impose a delay of
                   several seconds between when a packet is received and
                   when the packet is fully authenticated.  Any
                   congestion control related action that is appropriate
                   SHOULD NOT be postponed by any such full packet
                   authentication.

Notes:

Rationale:
Improper formatting of hanging list item consisting of three
paragraphs, visually pretending two more list items;
flaw apparently introduced in final pre-publication stages --
drafts were formatted properly.
