Section 5.4 says:

ECBasisType basis;
select (basis) {
    case ec_trinomial:
        opaque  k <1..2^8-1>;
    case ec_pentanomial:
        opaque  k1 <1..2^8-1>;
        opaque  k2 <1..2^8-1>;
        opaque  k3 <1..2^8-1>;
};

It should say:

ECBasisType basis;
select (basis) {
    case ec_basis_trinomial:
        opaque  k <1..2^8-1>;
    case ec_basis_pentanomial:
        opaque  k1 <1..2^8-1>;
        opaque  k2 <1..2^8-1>;
        opaque  k3 <1..2^8-1>;
};

Notes:

ECBasisType is earlier introduced as:
enum { ec_basis_trinomial, ec_basis_pentanomial } ECBasisType;

The cases of the select statement should spell the enum elements correctly.
