Section 2, mid-pg.4 says:
The use of LF without CR is questionable; see Appendix B for more
discussion. The newer control characters IND (U+0084) and NEL ("Next
Line", U+0085) might have been used to disambiguate the various line-
ending situations, but, because their use has not been established on
the Internet, because many protocols require CRLF, and because IND
| and NEL fall within the "C1 Controls" group (see below), they MUST
NOT be used. [...]
^^^^^

Notes:
The only relevant discussion of "C1 Controls" in the document
is in bullet 3 within the same section, on the preceding page.
Hence, "below" is misleading for the reader and needs to be
replaced to correctly say "above".

Section section 2, page 3 says:
3. The control characters in the ASCII range (U+0000 to U+001F and U+007F to U+009F) SHOULD generally be avoided.
It should say:
3. The control characters in the ASCII range (U+0000 to U+001F, and U+007F) SHOULD generally be avoided.
Notes:
Characters in the range U+0080 to U+009F are explicitly noted in the following text as lying outside the ASCII range, and in fact they are discussed separately at that point (which, given the phrasing error pointed out here, currently is duplicate coverage). They do not pertain to any range of ASCII characters and should not be treated as such.
