Section 4 says:

   This NLRI information is encoded using MP_REACH_NLRI and
   MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes, as defined in [RFC4760].  When
   advertising Flow Specifications, the Length of the Next-Hop Network
   Address MUST be set to 0.  The Network Address of the Next-Hop field
   MUST be ignored.

It should say:

   This NLRI information is encoded using MP_REACH_NLRI and
   MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes, as defined in [RFC4760].  When
   advertising Flow Specifications, the "Length of Next Hop Network 
   Address" field MUST be set to 0.  The "Network Address of Next Hop" 
   field MUST be ignored.

Notes:

The fields are named incorrectly in the original text -- they don't match the field names they're referencing in RFC 4760. Most importantly there's no hyphen in the RFC 4760 field definitions, but there are other differences too.
