Section 7.3 says:
Note that the message binding does not guarantee that a misbehaving server created the response before receiving the request, i.e., it does not verify server aliveness.
It should say:
Note that the message binding does not prevent a misbehaving server from creating the response before receiving the request, i.e., OSCORE does not verify server aliveness.
Notes:
The original text should have said "does not guarantee that a misbehaving server did not create", so a negation was missing. The new text addresses that, using "prevent" instead of "guarantee" in order to avoid a double negation.
