Section 3 says:

   6.  The domain name (the "right-hand side" of the email address,
       called the "domain" in [RFC5322]) is appended to the result of
       step 2 to complete the prepared domain name.

It should say:

   6.  The domain name (the "right-hand side" of the email address,
       called the "domain" in [RFC5322]) is appended to the result of
       step 5 to complete the prepared domain name.

Notes:

Technically, it should be step 5, not step 2: after step 2, there is no _openpgpkey label in the composed domain name. step 5 adds the _openpgpkey label.

Section 5.3. says:

For example, if the OPENPGPKEY RR query for hugh@example.com
(8d57[...]b7._openpgpkey.example.com) yields a CNAME to
8d57[...]b7._openpgpkey.example.net, and an OPENPGPKEY RR for
8d57[...]b7._openpgpkey.example.net exists,

It should say:

For example, if the OPENPGPKEY RR query for hugh@example.com
(c93f[...]d6._openpgpkey.example.com) yields a CNAME to
c93f[...]d6._openpgpkey.example.net, and an OPENPGPKEY RR for
c93f[...]d6._openpgpkey.example.net exists,

Notes:

The example hash 8d57[...]b7 is wrong. It has been calculated with the wrong hash algorithm: SHA-224, instead of SHA-256. The correct hash is c93f[...]d6, which is shown in the example in section 3.
