Section 3.1 number 5 says:
The client times out and retransmits the DHCPREQUEST message if the
client receives neither a DHCPACK or a DHCPNAK message.
...
If the client
receives neither a DHCPACK or a DHCPNAK message after employing the
retransmission algorithm, the client reverts to INIT state and
restarts the initialization process.
It should say:
The client times out and retransmits the DHCPREQUEST message if the
client receives neither a DHCPACK nor a DHCPNAK message.
...
If the client
receives neither a DHCPACK nor a DHCPNAK message after employing the
retransmission algorithm, the client reverts to INIT state and

Section 4.1 says:
Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK and DHCPNAK messages directly to the client using uicast delivery.
It should say:
Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK and DHCPNAK messages directly to the client using unicast delivery.
Notes:
typo (uicast -> unicast). Updated 2013-06-05. Thanks to Carlos Prendes for the correction.

It should say:
Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK messages directly to the client using unicast delivery.
Notes:
According to prior part description in section 4.1: "In all cases, when ’giaddr’ is zero, the server broadcasts any DHCPNAK messages to 0xffffffff.", the DHCP server should not send DHCPNAK in unicast to client unless 'giaddr' is not zero.
