Section B.1.1. says:

   Example 3: SPF not in alignment:

        MAIL FROM: <sender@example.net>

        From: sender@child.example.com
        Date: Fri, Feb 15 2002 16:54:30 -0800
        To: receiver@example.org
        Subject: here's a sample

   In this case, the RFC5321.MailFrom parameter includes a DNS domain
   that is neither the same as nor a parent of the RFC5322.From domain.
   Thus, the identifiers are not in alignment.

It should say:

   Example 3: SPF not in alignment:

        MAIL FROM: <sender@example.net>

        From: sender@child.example.com
        Date: Fri, Feb 15 2002 16:54:30 -0800
        To: receiver@example.org
        Subject: here's a sample

   In this case, the RFC5322.From parameter includes a DNS domain
   that is neither the same as nor a parent of the RFC5321.MailFrom
   domain. Thus, the identifiers are not in alignment.

Notes:

Obviously, in the example MailFrom domain IS a parent of From domain.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
example.NET is not a parent of child.example.COM

Further, the explanatory text makes that clear.
