Section Abstract says:

However, the selection of the source address for a
packet is done before the first-hop router for that packet is chosen.

It should say:

However, the selection of the source address for a
packet is done in some cases before the first-hop router
for that packet is chosen.

Notes:

This change recognizes the fact that while server applications commonly
bind to a specific source address before sending a packet, client
applications commonly do not do so. (Also see following erratum.)
