Section 7.1 says:

Each tree can map a location described by either civic or geographic
coordinates, but not both, for one type of service (such as
'sos.police', 'sos.fire' or 'counseling') and one location profile,
although nothing prevents re-using the same servers for multiple,
different services or both types of coordinates.  The collection of
all trees for one service and location profile is known as a forest.

It should say:

Each tree can map a location described by civic and/or geographic
coordinates, for one type of service (such as 'sos.police', 'sos.fire' or
'counseling'), although nothing prevents re-using the same servers for
multiple, different services.  The collection of all trees for one service 
is known as a forest.

Notes:

Trees may have mapping data in multiple location profiles, not only in a single profile. In particular, according to RFC 5222, a LoST server must understand civic and geographic coordinates. Furthermore, there is no mechanism to discover LoST servers based on the location profile.
