Section 9 says:

If the incoming request contains a Supported header field with a
value 'timer' but does not contain a Session-Expires header, it means
that the UAS is indicating support for timers but is not requesting
one.

It should say:

If the incoming request contains a Supported header field with a
value 'timer' but does not contain a Session-Expires header, it means
that the UAC is indicating support for timers but is not requesting
one.

Notes:

I believe that in the first sentence, the reference to "...the UAS is
indicating support...." should read "... the UAC is indicating
support..."

Section 13 says:

In section 13 (Example Call Flow) the From tag never changes 
between the initial INVITE message and the subsequent INVITE 
messages sent after receiving a 422:

message 1

   Via: SIP/2.0/TLS pc33.atlanta.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKnashds8

   CSeq: 314161 INVITE
   Contact: <sips:alice@pc33.atlanta.example.com>
   Content-Type: application/sdp

However, as per RFC 3261, if an initial INVITE generates a non-2xx final
response, that terminates all sessions and all dialogs that were created. 

Hence, these are not re-INVITE messages, rather new INVITE messages and 
should use a new From tag.

It should say:

message 1

Section 13 says:

   Record-Route: sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr
   Route: sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr

It should say:

   Record-Route: <sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr>
   Route: <sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr>

Notes:

In the examples, all the Record-Route and Route headers are wrong.

They are:
Record-Route: sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr
Route: sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr

But according with the section "25.1 Basic Rules" of RFC3261 those headers are defined as:

name-addr = [ display-name ] LAQUOT addr-spec RAQUOT
Record-Route = "Record-Route" HCOLON rec-route *(COMMA rec-route)
rec-route = name-addr *( SEMI rr-param )
rr-param = generic-param
Route = "Route" HCOLON route-param *(COMMA route-param)
route-param = name-addr *( SEMI rr-param )

So the headers should be:
Record-Route: <sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr>
Route: <sips:p1.atlanta.example.com;lr>

Section 3 says:

   A UAC starts by sending an INVITE.  This includes a Supported header
   field with the option tag 'timer', indicating support for this
   extension.

It should say:

   A UAC starts by sending an INVITE.  This includes a Supported header
   field with the option tag 'timer', indicating support for this
   extension.If UAC or UAS knows one negotiation of session timer is 
   ongoing, it SHALL not start a new one.

Notes:

Add one more sentence here "If UAC knows one negotiation of session timer is ongoing, it SHALL not start a new one."
Actually in the scenarios of session set-up or session modification, it is easy to see the message exchange of UPDATE and (re-)INVITE, according to this RFC, both of them are allowed for the negotiation of session timer, the decision shall be taken on their own 200 OK. Normally the negotiation of session time of (re-)INVITE is started at first and the UPDATE's will be taken place, from UAS perspective, it needs to treat two negotiations of session timer in-parallel, since there is no kind of mechanism to protect the parameters carried in (re-)INVITE and UPDATE being inconsistent, it brings a problem on UAS that the result of two negotiations might be different specially for the parameter of refresher and also the inconsistency will cause UAS to meet a conflict while it is deciding the parameters especially for refresher on 200 OK of (re-)INVITE. In order to avoid this problem, it is better to disallow a net negotiation of session timer until the ongoing one is finished.

Section 8 says:

8.  Proxy Behavior

   Session timers are mostly of interest to call stateful proxy servers
   (that is, to servers that maintain the state of calls and dialogs
   established through them).  However, a stateful proxy server (that
   is, a server which is aware of transaction state but does not retain
   call or dialog state) MAY also follow the rules described here.
   Stateless proxies MUST NOT attempt to request session timers.
   Proxies that ask for session timers SHOULD record-route, as they
   won't receive refreshes if they don't.

It should say:

   Session timers are mostly of interest to call stateful proxy servers

Notes:

After the "However", it should be a stateless proxy server.
