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".
