Section 4.6, pg. 19 says:

<<  last paragraph of Section 4.6 >>

   For TFRC senders allowed to accumulate sending credits for unused
   send time over the last T seconds, the sender would be allowed to use
|  unused nominal send times t_j for t_j < now - T, for T set to the
   round-trip time.
                                          ^^^^

It should say:

Rationale:
Consistent use of variable names.

Section 6.2, pg.28 says:

   2)  Calculate the measured receive rate, X_recv, based on the packets
       received within the previous R_(m-1) seconds.  This is performed
       whether the feedback timer expired at its normal time or expired
|      early due to a new lost or marked packet (i.e., step (3) in
       Section 6.1).
                                                             ^

Notes:

Rationale:
The steps in 6.1 have been renumbered since RFC 3448, due to
the insertion of a new step (2); this change apparently has
been missed here.

Section 4, pg.9 says:

<< 5th bullet >>

   o   Oscillation prevention (optional).

It should say:

   o   Oscillation reduction (optional).
                   ^^^^^^^^^

Notes:

Rationale:
Consistency in change of emphasis (since RFC 3448),
cf. new title of Section 4.5 !

Section 4.4, pg.15 says:

<< 1st paragraph in Section 4.4 >>

|  This section specifies the sender's response to a nofeedback timer.
   The nofeedback timer could expire because of an idle period or
   because of data or feedback packets dropped in the network.

It should say:

                                                                vvvvvvv
|  This section specifies the sender's response to a nofeedback timeout.
   The nofeedback timer could expire because of an idle period or
   because of data or feedback packets dropped in the network.

Section 7, pg.30 says:

<<  second paragraph of section, at the bottom of pg. 30 >>

   The main advantage of a sender-based variant of TFRC is that the
   sender does not have to trust the receiver's calculation of the
   packet loss rate.  However, with the requirement of reliable delivery
   of loss information from the receiver to the sender, a sender-based
|  TFRC would have much tighter constraints on the transport protocol in
   which it is embedded.

Notes:

Rationale:
Consistency in style broken by incomplete change since
RFC 3448; present tense is now used in the first sentence;
so it should be used in the second one as well, for clarity.

Section C.1, pg.48 says:

<<  second paragraph on page 48 >>

   Recovery after idle or data-limited periods: When TCP reduces the
|  congestion window after an idle or data-utilized period, TCP can set
   the slow-start threshold, ssthresh, to allow the TCP sender to slow-
   start back up towards its old sending rate when the idle or data-
   limited period is over.  [...]

Notes:

Rationale:
The term "data-utilized period" does not appear anywhere else in
the RFC; apparently, "data-limited period" is meant here as well.
