Section 8 says:

8. IANA Considerations

   Section 8.3 is a registration for a new top-level RFC 2822 [3]
   message header, "Message-Context".

   This document creates an extensible set of context types.  To promote
   interoperability and coherent interpretations of different types, a
   central repository has been established for well-known context types.

   The IANA has created a repository for context types called "Internet
   Message Context Types".  Following the policies outlined in [5], this
   repository is "Specification Required" by RFC.  Section 8.1 describes
   the initial values for this registry.

   To create a new message context type, you MUST publish an RFC to
   document the type.  In the RFC, include a copy of the registration
   template found in Section 8.2 of this document.  Put the template in
   your IANA Considerations section, filling-in the appropriate fields.
   You MUST describe any interoperability and security issues in your
   document.

It should say:

8. IANA Considerations

   Section 8.3 is a registration for a new top-level RFC 2822 [3]
   message header, "Message-Context".

   This document creates an extensible set of context classes.  To promote
   interoperability and coherent interpretations of different classes, a
   central repository has been established for well-known context classes.

   The IANA has created a repository for context classes called "Internet
   Message Context Classes".  Following the policies outlined in [5], this
   repository is "Specification Required" by RFC.  Section 8.1 describes
   the initial values for this registry.

   To create a new message context class, you MUST publish an RFC to
   document the class.  In the RFC, include a copy of the registration
   template found in Section 8.2 of this document.  Put the template in
   your IANA Considerations section, filling-in the appropriate fields.
   You MUST describe any interoperability and security issues in your
   document.

Notes:

This document appears to mix up some terms:

1) Context vs. Content: While most of the document refers to 'Context', parts of the IANA Considerations Section use 'Content' for the same thing

2) class vs. type: While most of the document uses 'class', parts of the IANA Considerations Section use 'type' for the same thing

Important: The IANA Registry https://www.iana.org/assignments/message-header-types/message-header-types.xhtml also needs to be updated (given this errata is considered valid)
