Section 5.1 says:
time_high: The least significant 12 bits from the 60-bit starting timestamp. Occupies bits 52 through 63 (octets 6-7).
It should say:
time_high: The most significant 12 bits from the 60-bit starting timestamp. Occupies bits 52 through 63 (octets 6-7).
Notes:
The original text has the least significant 12 bits from the 60-bit starting timestamp duplicated in the UUID. Once as the least significant 12 bits of time_low and again as time_high. The most significant 12 bits of the starting timestamp are omitted from the UUID.
The corrected text gives the self-evident intention of the committee.
