Section 4 says:

...EE certificate's IP address delegation extension.

It should say:

...EE certificate's IP address delegation extension.  The EE certificate
MUST NOT use "inherit" elements as described in [RFC3779].

Notes:

Having spoken to the authors, the authors' intent was to disallow "inherit" in ROA EE certificates in order to simplify validation of ROAs. Implementers agree, and as of March 2012, the three public validator implementations already enforce this.

This erratum simply states it explicitly, whereas the original text might be misread as leaving room for indirectly-specified resources via "inherit".

This errata was discussed by the WG, please see SIDR list archive.
