Section 4.1 says:
length Identical to the length field in a TLS 1.2 record. As in TLS 1.2, the length should not exceed 2^14.
It should say:
length Identical to the length field in a TLS 1.2 record. As in TLS 1.2, the length MUST NOT exceed 2^14.
Notes:
The originial comment on length in RFC 5246, 6.2.1 is:
length
The length (in bytes) of the following TLSPlaintext.fragment. The
length MUST NOT exceed 2^14.
so it has to be "MUST NOT" - instead of "should not" as currently stated.
