(1)  Section 4.5 -- syntax / punctuation issue

In the first paragraph of Section 4.5, on page 7, RFC 4875 says:
                                           vv
|           [...].  The < [<EXPLICIT_ROUTE>], <S2L_SUB_LSP> > tuple
   represents the S2L sub-LSP and is referred to as the sub-LSP
   descriptor.  [...]

Obviously, the tagged comma should be *inside* the square brackets:
                                           vv
|           [...].  The < [<EXPLICIT_ROUTE>,] <S2L_SUB_LSP> > tuple
   represents the S2L sub-LSP and is referred to as the sub-LSP
   descriptor.  [...]

The same issue recurs in the third paragraph of Section 4.5, on the
same page.

At similar places in the RFC, e.g. in the first paragraph of
Section 5.2.1, the comma is omitted entirely in the tuple notation.
That is very unusual.

It should say:
