Yes, and this was fixed in the updated document, RFC 5545. RFC 2445 has been
obsolete since 2009.

Verifier notes:
I'm marking this "hold for document update", according to the IESG's policy on errata
handling... but note that this document has already been updated: it is obsoleted by
RFC 5545, and this version (RFC 2445) should no longer be used. (And this typo was
corrected in RFC 5545, I'm happy to say.)
