Section 2.8.1 says:

The value of Type-P-One-way-Delay could change if the protocol (UDP or TCP), 
port number, size, or arrangement for special treatment (e.g., IP DS Field 
[RFC2780], Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [RFC3168], or RSVP) changes.

It should say:

The value of Type-P-One-way-Packet-Loss could change if the protocol (UDP or 
TCP), port number, size, or arrangement for special treatment (e.g., IP DS Field 
[RFC2780], Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [RFC3168], or RSVP) changes.

Notes:

The original text is not incorrect and a change in Type-P-One-way-Delay could also imply a change in Type-P-One-way-Packet-Loss. Therefore, and as this section refers to the Type-P-One-way-Packet-Loss, it would be more accurate to refer to Type-P-One-way-Packet-Loss directly.
