Section 3 says:

   (F3) Use 64-bit Sequence Numbers

        O'Malley and Peterson [RFC-1264] have suggested expansion of the
        TCP sequence space to 64 bits as an alternative to PAWS for
        avoiding the hazard of wrapped sequence numbers within the same
        incarnation.

It should say:

   (F3) Use 64-bit Sequence Numbers

        O'Malley and Peterson [RFC-1263] have suggested expansion of the
        TCP sequence space to 64 bits as an alternative to PAWS for
        avoiding the hazard of wrapped sequence numbers within the same
        incarnation.

Notes:

S. O'Malley and L. Peterson actually authored [RFC-1263] not [RFC-1264].
