Section Introduction says:
This document specifies the clearance sponsor attribute. It is included in public key certificates [RFC5280] and attribute certificates [RFC5755]. This attribute is only meaningful as a companion of the clearance attribute [RFC5755] [RFC5912]. The clearance sponsor is the entity (e.g., agency, department, or organization) that granted the clearance to the subject named in the certificate. For example, the clearance sponsor for a subject asserting the Amoco clearance values [RFC3114] could be "Engineering".
It should say:

RFC 5913 should be added to the references:
[RFC5913] Turner, S. and S. Chokhani, "Clearance Attribute and
Authority Clearance Constraints Certificate Extension",
RFC 5913, June 2010.
Notes:
The first paragraph in the section references RFC 5912. As far as I can see, it should really reference RFC 5913 (Clearance Attribute and Authority Clearance Constraints - Certificate Extension).
