RFC 8601, "Message Header Field for Indicating Message Authentication Status", May 2019

Section 2.2 says:
resinfo = [CFWS] ";" methodspec [ CFWS reasonspec ] [ CFWS 1*propspec ]
It should say:
resinfo = [CFWS] ";" methodspec [ CFWS reasonspec ] *( CFWS propspec )
Notes:
When there is more than one propspec, they are separated by spaces. Every implementation I know puts in the spaces. This was correct in RFC 7601, but see unconfirmed erratum 5435 which introduced the mistake.
While we're at it, take out the [CFWS] at the end of the definition of pvalue which is redundant and confusing.

Section Appendix B says:
spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=example.net
It should say:
spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=sender@example.net
Notes:
This error appears three places in Appendix B. smtp.mailfrom takes a mailbox, not a domain name.
The example in section 2.7.4 at the bottom of page 21 is OK.

It should say:

Notes:
In the next revision, this reference should be moved from Section 8.2, informative references, to Section 8.1, normative references. In Section 2.2, formal definition, the definition for domain-name is taken from RFC 6376, so it's not merely informative.
