Section 3.1 says:
L2->L1 inter-area external routes with external metric: These are
advertised in L1 LSPs, in TLV 130. The up/down bit is set to one,
metric-type is external metric. These IP prefixes are learned via
L2 routing, and were derived during the L1 SPF computation from
prefixes advertised in L2 LSPs in TLV 130 with external metrics.
It should say:

Notes:
The following part has been corrected:
"These IP prefixes are learned via
L2 routing, and were derived during the L1 (should be L2) SPF computation from
prefixes advertised in L2 LSPs in TLV 130 with external metrics."
The IP prefixes which are learned via L2 routing were derived during L2 SPF computation instead of L1 SPF computation from prefixes advertised in L2 LSPs. As these prefixes were originally advertised in L2 area hence the SPF for these prefixes should run on the L2 LSPs and eventually the prefixes derived through L2 LSP should be leaked into L1 area.

Section 3.1,1st para says:
The combination IP Internal Reachability Information and external metric-type is not allowed. Also, the up/down bit MUST NOT be set in | L2 LSPs. This leaves us with 8 different types of IP advertisements | in IS-IS. However, there are more than 8 reasons for IP prefixes to be advertised in IS-IS. The following list describes the types of IP prefixes and how they are encoded.

The following list describes the types of IP prefixes and how they are encoded.
Notes:
Rationale:
Each of the two restrictions mentioned in the initial part
of the quoted paragraph indeed excludes 4 possibilities
of the original set of 16 combinations. However, these
restrictions are not exclusive; they overlap in one case,
thus reducing the number of forbidden combinations to 7.
Therefore, we are left with *9* different types of combinations.
This can also be seen from the subsequent list of 12 items
(unfortunately, the numbering of these has been lost on the way
from RFC 2966 to its successor). That list contains 3 pairs of
entries, i.e. 6 entries that contain the wording
"These prefixes cannot be distinguished from ... routes." ,
thus reducing the number of distinguishable cases from 12 to 9.
Virtually restoring the list item numbering as (1) ... (12),
the following table shows a decision matrix:
+----------------------+---------------+-------------------+
| Metric U/D \ Level | L1 | L2 |
| Type Bit \ TLV# | 128 | 130 | 128 | 130 |
+----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| 0 | (1) | (2) | (3),(5) | (4),(6) |
| Int --------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| 1 | (7) | (8) | N/A | N/A |
+----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| 0 | N/A | (9) | N/A |(10),(11)|
| Ext --------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
