Section 5.1.2 says:

It is essential that such entities be handled correctly when they are
themselves imbedded inside of another "multipart" structure.

It should say:

It is essential that such entities be handled correctly when they are 
themselves embedded inside of another "multipart" structure.

Notes:

`imbedded` is a typo
--VERIFIER NOTES--
“Imbed” is a less common spelling of “embed” (see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imbed). It is used in a number of early RFCs (e.g., RFCs 549, 1035, 1258, 1580, 1689, 2567, 3423, and more). It was last used in RFC 5045. Since then, “embed” has been used in the RFC Series.
