Section 3.3 says:

   4.  When creating a temporary address, the lifetime values MUST be
       derived from the corresponding prefix as follows:

       *  Its Valid Lifetime is the lower of the Valid Lifetime of the
          public address or TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME.

       *  Its Preferred Lifetime is the lower of the Preferred Lifetime
          of the public address or TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME -
          DESYNC_FACTOR.

It should say:

   4.  When creating a temporary address, the lifetime values MUST be
       derived from the corresponding prefix as follows:

       *  Its Valid Lifetime is the lower of the Valid Lifetime of the
          prefix and TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME.

       *  Its Preferred Lifetime is the lower of the Preferred Lifetime
          of the prefix and TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - DESYNC_FACTOR.

Notes:

The language of RFC 4941 has been 'upgraded' from RFC 3041 by
replacing the confusing language related to "global addresses"
by correctly speaking about "prefixes" when referring to
information obtained in RA Prefix Options.
Unfortunately, in one place this 'upgrade' has been missed.

Section 5 says:

DESYNC_FACTOR -- A random value within the range 0 -
   MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR.  It is computed once at system start (rather than
   each time it is used) and must never be greater than
   (TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE).

It should say:

DESYNC_FACTOR -- A random value within the range 0 -
   MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR.  It is computed once at system start (rather than
   each time it is used) and must never be greater than
   (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE).

Notes:

At various places in the RFC, DESYNC_FACTOR is used in a calculation like (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - DESYNC_FACTOR) or (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE - DESYNC_FACTOR). It needs to be smaller than (TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - REGEN_ADVANCE) for the result of these calculations to be larger than zero. It's never used in a calculation together with TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME.

Section 6 says:

The second paragraph of Section 6 refers to the Source Address
Selection API Extension without giving any reference.  The related
Internet-Draft in the meantime has been published as RFC 5014,
less than two weeks after RFC 4941.
It would have been useful to place a pointer to that work-in-progress
(or the RFC, if publication were coordinated).

Section 3.4 says:

   When a temporary address becomes deprecated, a new one MUST be
   generated.  This is done by repeating the actions described in
   Section 3.3, starting at step 3).  [...]

Notes:

The bullets in Section 3.3 have been renumbered from RFC 3041,
necessitated by the insertion of a new bullet as #2.
In an internal reference in Section 3.4, this change has not been
reflected accordingly.
