Section Appendix A says:
If there is data, and the first octet of the data is nonzero, then it MUST be a printable UTF-8 string which explains why the request was denied. This string MAY NOT be NULL terminated. (multiple occurrences of "MAY NOT")
It should say:
If there is data, and the first octet of the data is nonzero, then it MUST be a printable UTF-8 string which explains why the request was denied. This string MUST NOT be NULL terminated. (all occurrences of "MAY NOT" must be changed to "MUST NOT")
Notes:
The keyword "MAY NOT" does not exist in RFC 2119. It should be "MUST NOT".
