Section 2.1.3.2 says:
ii. If LSB(fn) is not set, then right-shift both fn and sn
equally until either LSB(fn) is set or fn is 0.
It should say:
ii. If LSB(fn) is not set, then right-shift both fn and sn
equally until LSB(fn) is set.
Notes:
This even case can happen only when fn == sn > 0, which means that the shifting loop always terminates with fn odd (and hence non-zero).
Suggesting that fn == 0 can happen is confusing, since in this case the preceding update of r, using a path element as *left* sibling, makes no sense. Not sure if it would be helpful to also add a comment explaining why the loop terminates.
The same correction applies to 2.1.4.2, algorithm step 6.b.iii.
