Section 4.2 says:
2 The use of the symbols in 2/2, 2/7, 2/12, 5/14, /6/0, and 7/14 as diacritical marks is described in Appendix A, A5.2 3 These characters should not be used in international interchange without determining that there is agreement between sender and recipient. (See Appendix B4.)
It should say:
2 The use of the symbols in 2/2, 2/7, 2/12, 5/14, /6/0, and 7/14 as diacritical marks is described in Appendix A, A5.2, of X3.4-1968. 3 These characters should not be used in international interchange without determining that there is agreement between sender and recipient. (See Appendix B4 of X3.4-1968.)
Notes:
The appendixes are in the original standard, not the RFC.
In the abstract, it says "X3, 4-" rather than "X3.4-" which is surely an OCR or transcription error.

Section all says:
Cert
It should say:
Cerf
Notes:
Vint Cerf's name is spelled wrong in the footer at the bottom of each page. Not having a copy of the original, I don't know whether it was an original bug or a transcription error in 1999. BUt it's definitely kind of amusing.
