Section 7.4.1.2 says:
After sending the ClientHello message, the client waits for a ServerHello message. Any handshake message returned by the server, except for a HelloRequest, is treated as a fatal error.
It should say:
After sending the ClientHello message, the client waits for a ServerHello message. Any other handshake message returned by the server, except for a HelloRequest, is treated as a fatal error.
Notes:
A ServerHello received after a ClientHello should not be treated as a fatal error.
