Section 8 says:

   1. Exclusive-or Pn-1 with the previous ciphertext
      block, Cn-2, to create Xn-1.

It should say:

   1. Exclusive-or Pn-1 with the previous ciphertext
      block, Cn-2, to create Xn-1.  For short messages where
      Cn-2 does not exist, use IV.

Section 8 says:

6. Decrypt En to create Pn-1.

It should say:

6. Decrypt En and exclusive-or with Cn-2 to create Pn-1.
   For short messages where Cn-2 does not exist, use the IV.

Section 11 says:

  The values for the algorithm field are:

  RC5_CBC  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
    { iso (1) member-body (2) US (840) rsadsi (113549)
      encryptionAlgorithm (3) RC5CBC (8) }

  RC5_CBC_Pad OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
  { iso (1) member-body (2) US (840) rsadsi (113549)
    encryptionAlgorithm (3) RC5CBCPAD (9) }

   The structure of the parameters field for these algorithms is given
   below.  NOTE: if the iv field is not included, then the
   initialization vector defaults to a block of zeros whose size depends
   on the blockSizeInBits field.

  RC5_CBC_Parameters ::= SEQUENCE {
    version           INTEGER (v1_0(16)),
    rounds            INTEGER (8..127),
    blockSizeInBits   INTEGER (64, 128),
    iv                OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
  }

It should say:

  The values for the algorithm field are:

  rC5-CBC  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
    { iso (1) member-body (2) us (840) rsadsi (113549)
      encryptionAlgorithm (3) rC5CBC (8) }

  rC5-CBC-Pad OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
  { iso (1) member-body (2) us (840) rsadsi (113549)
    encryptionAlgorithm (3) rC5CBCPAD (9) }

   The structure of the parameters field for these algorithms is given
   below.  NOTE: if the iv field is not included, then the
   initialization vector defaults to a block of zeros whose size depends
   on the blockSizeInBits field.

  RC5-CBC-Parameters ::= SEQUENCE {
    version           INTEGER {v1-0(16)},
    rounds            INTEGER (8..127),
    blockSizeInBits   INTEGER (64 | 128),
    iv                OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
  }

Notes:

The underscore character cannot be used in the definitions; a hyphen is traditional.

The object identifiers need to begin with a lower case letter, and "us" is written with both letters lowercase.

The constraints on INTEGER values used incorrect syntax.

Section 8 says:

   This mode handles any length of plaintext and produces ciphertext 
   whose length matches the plaintext length.  

It should say:

   This mode handles any length of plaintext longer than one
   block and produces ciphertext whose length matches the
   plaintext length.
