Throughout the document, when it says:

The abstract says "This document describes PNG (Portable Network Graphics)" and "This specification defines the Internet Media Type image/png."

It should say:

The publication of RFC 2083 has been overtaken by further work in the W3C. The latest specification for PNG can be found at https://www.w3.org/TR/png-3/

Notes:

Someone who finds the RFC might think it is the current PNG spec.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
While true, an erratum indicates that the RFC was incorrect at the time of publication. A request to mark RFC 2083 Historic for that reason would be in order; an erratum is not.
