Section 5. says:
gopherurl = "gopher://" hostport [ / [ gtype [ selector [ "%09" search [ "%09" gopher+_string ] ] ] ] ]
It should say:
gopherurl = "gopher://" hostport [ "/" [ gtype [ selector [ "%09" search [ "%09" gopher+_string ] ] ] ] ]
Notes:
The slash after the first square bracket open should be quoted because it is a literal slash, as evidenced in the example in section 3.4.1:
3.4.1. Gopher URL syntax
gopher://<host>:<port>/<gopher-path>
