Section 6.1 says:

      |  Note: An endpoint that learns of stream closure after sending
      |  all data can close a stream by sending a STREAM frame with a
      |  zero-length Data field and the END_STREAM flag set.  This is
      |  only possible if the endpoint does not send trailers, as the
      |  END_STREAM flag appears on a HEADERS frame in that case; see
      |  Section 8.1.

It should say:

      |  Note: An endpoint that learns of stream closure after sending
      |  all data can close a stream by sending a DATA frame with a
      |  zero-length Data field and the END_STREAM flag set.  This is
      |  only possible if the endpoint does not send trailers, as the
      |  END_STREAM flag appears on a HEADERS frame in that case; see
      |  Section 8.1.

Notes:

Since STREAM frame is not defined in HTTP/2, I assume this is a DATA frame. This is probably a typo, possibly confused with the QUIC specification.
