Section 4.1.1. says: 

   A set of messages can be referenced by a sequence set containing
   either message sequence numbers or unique identifiers.  See Section 9
   for details.  A sequence set can contain ranges of sequence numbers
   (such as "5:50"), an enumeration of specific sequence numbers, or a
   combination of the above.  A sequence set can use the special symbol
   "*" to represent the maximum sequence number in the mailbox.  A
   sequence set never contains unique identifiers.

It should say:

Why am I required to fix someone else's sloppy writing?

Notes:

The first and last sentences are in direct contradiction. Clarification is needed.
