Section 8.7.1 says:

          {
            "name" : "type",
            "type" : "string",
            "multiValued" : false,
            "description" : "The attribute's data type.
              Valid values include 'string', 'complex', 'boolean',
              'decimal', 'integer', 'dateTime', 'reference'.",
            "required" : true,
            "canonicalValues" : [
              "string",
              "complex",
              "boolean",
              "decimal",
              "integer",
              "dateTime",
              "reference"
            ],
            "caseExact" : false,
            "mutability" : "readOnly",
            "returned" : "default",
            "uniqueness" : "none"
          },

It should say:

          {
            "name" : "type",
            "type" : "string",
            "multiValued" : false,
            "description" : "The attribute's data type.
              Valid values include 'string', 'complex', 'boolean',
              'decimal', 'integer', 'dateTime', 'reference', 'binary'.",
            "required" : true,
            "canonicalValues" : [
              "string",
              "complex",
              "boolean",
              "decimal",
              "integer",
              "dateTime",
              "reference",
              "binary"
            ],
            "caseExact" : false,
            "mutability" : "readOnly",
            "returned" : "default",
            "uniqueness" : "none"
          },

Notes:

On page 83, the "canonicalValues" definition of "type" attribute missing "binary".
