Section Abstract says:
It provides designer guidance to requesters or users of port numbers on how to interact with IANA using the processes defined in RFC 6335; thus, this document complements (but does not update) that document. It provides guidelines for designers regarding how to interact with the IANA processes defined in RFC 6335, thus serving to complement (but not update) that document.
It should say:

Notes:
I think those two sentences say exactly the same thing and that the presence of both indicates that someone wasn't paying quite enough attention during AUTH48 or earlier. If they are intended to communicate different information, it isn't clear what that is and the result is massively confusing.
-- Verifier Notes --
The sentence was duplicated by mistake.

Section 3 says:
[RFC1340] also establishes the Registered range of 1024-59151, though it notes that it is not controlled by the IANA (at that point).
It should say:
[RFC1340] first indicated the Registered range of 1024-65535. This noted that the range was only recorded (rather than controlled) by IANA. The list provided by [RFC1700] in 1994 remained the standard, until replaced by an online version in 2002 [RFC3232]. At some time after 1994, but before 2000, the Registered range was changed to 1024-49151 and the Dynamic/Private range of 49152-65535 was established, although this change was not recorded in the RFC series until 2011 [RFC6335].
Notes:
There is an editorial issue as the original text indicated the wrong range with respect to RFC1340. However, the range should not just be updated in the text as there is more history that needs clarification.
