Section 6.1 says:
However, regardless of the value of rwnd (including if it is 0), the data sender can always have one DATA chunk in flight to the receiver if allowed by cwnd (see rule B below). This rule allows the sender to probe for a change in rwnd that the sender missed due to the SACK having been lost in transit from the data receiver to the data sender.
It should say:
[empty]
Notes:
The whole paragraph is a one-to-one repetition of the final part of first paragraph of Rule A).
The position of the paragraph does not affect meaning, but the repetition hinders readability.
