Section 15.1. says:
Non-mandatory EBML Elements can be added in a new EBMLDocTypeVersion. Since they are not mandatory, they won't be found in older versions of the EBMLDocTypeVersion, just as they might not be found in newer versions. This causes no compatibility issue.
It should say:

Notes:
Use DocTypeVersion in the text rather than EBMLDocTypeVersion for more consistency.
