Section 1 says:
This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 [X.660] encoding formats for digital signatures and subject public keys used in the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
It should say:
This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 [X.690] encoding formats for digital signatures and subject public keys used in the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
Notes:
In Section 4, it says:
[X.660] ITU-T Recommendation X.660 Information Technology -
ASN.1 encoding rules: Specification of Basic Encoding
Rules (BER), Canonical Encoding Rules (CER) and
Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER), 1997.
It should say:

Section 2.3.5 says:
id-characteristic-two-basis OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
characteristic-two-field basisType(1) }
It should say:
id-characteristic-two-basis OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
characteristic-two-field basisType(3) }
Notes:
Note that this bug is only in Section 2.3.5; the ASN.1 module in Section 3 has the correct OID.

Section 2.3.3 says:
g specifies the generator of the multiplicative subgroup of order g;
It should say:
g specifies the generator of the multiplicative subgroup of order q;
Notes:
RFC2631 states that g is of order q mod p (section 2.1.1).
Also, X9.42 (which is referenced in section 2.3.3 of RFC3279) defines g as
"generator of the q-order cyclic subgroup of GF(p), that is, an element of order q in the multiplicative group of GF(p)" (X9.42:2001, section 4.1)

Section 1 says:
This specification describes the encoding of digital signatures
generated with the following cryptographic algorithms:
| * Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA);
* Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA); and
* Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
It should say:
This specification describes the encoding of digital signatures
generated with the following cryptographic algorithms:
| * Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA);
* Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA); and
* Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
Notes:
Len is "Adleman" and not "Adelman". The error repeats a few lines later again. The spelling in 2.2.1 is correct.

Section 2.3.5 says:
When the parameters are inherited, the parameters field SHALL contain implictlyCA, which is the ASN.1 value NULL.
It should say:
When the parameters are inherited, the parameters field SHALL contain implicitlyCA, which is the ASN.1 value NULL.
Notes:
"implictly" appears to be missing an i.
