Section 5.4.2 says:

   The PW FEC TLV SHOULD not include the interface parameter sub-TLVs,
   as they are ignored in the context of this message.  When a PE's
   attachment circuit encounters an error, use of the PW Notification
   Message allows the PE to send a single "wild card" status message,
   using a PW FEC TLV with only the group ID set, to denote this change
   in status for all affected PW connections.  This status message
   contains either the PW FEC TLV with only the group ID set, or else it
   contains the Generalized FEC TLV with only the PW Grouping ID TLV.

   As mentioned above, the Group ID field of the PWid FEC element, or
   the PW Grouping ID TLV used with the Generalized ID FEC element, can
   be used to send a status notification for all arbitrary sets of PWs.
   [...]

It should say:

|  The PWid FEC element SHOULD NOT include the interface parameter
   sub-TLVs, as they are ignored in the context of this message.  When
   a PE's attachment circuit encounters an error, use of the PW
   Notification Message allows the PE to send a single "wild card"

|  This status message contains either a FEC TLV with a PWid FEC element
|  with only the group ID set, or else it contains a FEC TLV with a
|  Generalized PWid FEC element together with only the PW Grouping ID
   TLV.

   As mentioned above, the Group ID field of the PWid FEC element, or
|  the PW Grouping ID TLV used with the Generalized PWid FEC element,
   can be used to send a status notification for all arbitrary sets of
   PWs.
