Section 5.2 says:
The latitude of the northeast corner is always greater than the latitude of the southwest corner, but bounding boxes that cross the antimeridian have a northeast corner longitude that is less than the longitude of the southwest corner.
It should say:
The longitude of the northeast corner is always greater than the longitude of the southwest corner, but bounding boxes that cross the antimeridian have a northeast corner longitude that is less than the longitude of the southwest corner.
Notes:
Judging by the example in the same section and the second part of the paragraph, it probably intended to refer to longitude, not latitude.
