Section Appendix A says: 

If there is data, and the first octet of the data is nonzero, then
it MUST be a printable UTF-8 string which explains why the request
was denied.  This string MAY NOT be NULL terminated.

(multiple occurrences of "MAY NOT")

It should say:

If there is data, and the first octet of the data is nonzero, then
it MUST be a printable UTF-8 string which explains why the request
was denied.  This string MUST NOT be NULL terminated.

(all occurrences of "MAY NOT" must be changed to "MUST NOT")

Notes:

The keyword "MAY NOT" does not exist in RFC 2119. It should be "MUST NOT".

Section 7 says: 

      Field Check Sequence (FCS) Alternatives,

      Address-and-Control-Field-Compression (ACFC),

      Asynchronous-Control-Character-Map (ACCM)

It should say:

      FCS-Alternatives,

      Address-and-Control-Field-Compression (ACFC),

      Async-Control-Character-Map (ACCM)

Notes:

The names used for the first and third options is not the offical one (as defined on https://www.iana.org/assignments/ppp-numbers/ppp-numbers.xhtml#ppp-numbers-4 and in rfc1570 and rfc1662, respectively). Moreover, if FCS really had to be "expanded", it should be Frame (rather than Field) Ckeck Sequence. This is from common knowledge, and from rfc1570 appendix A.

Section 7 says: 

   It is RECOMMENDED that the Access Concentrator ocassionally send
   Echo-Request packets to the Host to determine the state of the
   session.  Otherwise, if the Host terminates a session without sending
   a Terminate-Request packet, the Access Concentrator will not be able
   to determine that the session has gone away.

It should say:

   It is RECOMMENDED that the Access Concentrator occasionally send
   Echo-Request packets to the Host to determine the state of the
   session.  Otherwise, if the Host terminates a session without sending
   a Terminate-Request packet, the Access Concentrator will not be able
   to determine that the session has gone away.

Notes:

Typo. The word "ocassionally" should be "occasionally".
