Section 1.1 says:
BD: Broadcast Domain. An EVI may be comprised of one BD (VLAN-based or VLAN Bundle services) or multiple BDs (VLAN-aware Bundle services).
It should say:
BD: Bridge Domain. An EVI may be comprised of one BD (VLAN-based or VLAN Bundle services) or multiple BDs (VLAN-aware Bundle services).
Notes:
broadcast domain is not comprised in any services (VLAN-based or VLAN Bundle service).

Section 3.2 says:
Where: o DF(V) is defined to be the address Si (index i) for which Weight(V, Es, Si) is the highest; 0 <= i < N-1. o BDF(V) is defined as that PE with address Sk for which the computed Weight is the next highest after the Weight of the DF. j is the running index from 0 to N-1; i and k are selected values.

Notes:
Paul Kyzivat raised a point while reviewing EVPN Port-Active draft, that really points to a possible algorithm errata in RFC8584 ;
Basically, when evaluating the DF for HRW,
> * DF(Es) is defined to be the address Si (index i) for which
> Weight(Es, Si) is the highest; 0 <= i < N-1.
Here,
if N=1, no remotes: 0 <= i < 0 -- ERROR
if N=2, 1 peer: 0 <= i < 1 -> possible values are only 0 meaning index 1 (the peer)’s weight is not considered.
Logically, this should be 0 <= i <= N-1 or 0 <= i < N ?
