Section 3.2 says:

CRLF-separated key/value pairs

It should say:

LF- or CRLF-separated key/value pairs

Notes:

Rationale:

1. The definition of 'sts-policy-term' in the grammar explicitly allows use of either CRLF or bare LF.

2. On page 8, one of the example says "<CRLF>" explicitly at the end of the first line, while the second line of that example and all lines of the other example have neither "<CRLF>" nor "<LF>" appended to them. That makes it ambiguous whether those lines are terminated by LF or by CRLF.

Section 3.1 says:

sts-field-delim = *WSP ";" *WSP

It should say:

sts-field-delim = ";" *WSP

Notes:

The following text appears within the same section:

> If multiple TXT records for "_mta-sts" are returned by the resolver, records that do not begin with "v=STSv1;" are discarded.

The current definition of sts-field-delim is incompatible with that instruction. Either the instruction needs to be changed, a new delimiter needs to be defined that doesn't permit whitespace before the semicolon, or sts-field-delim needs to be modified.

Section 3.2 says:

sts-policy-max-age-value = 1*10(DIGIT)

It should say:

sts-policy-max-age-value = 1*8(DIGIT)

Notes:

As described under 3.2 at point "max_age", the maximum lifetime of a policy may only be 31557600 seconds. Therefore 8 digits in the ABNF for "sts-policy-max-age-value" would be sufficient.

On the other hand, if values larger than 31557600 seconds are allowed, the text under "max_age" should be adjusted.

NOT should be capitalized.
