Section 8.1 says:
This document guards against the technical issues outlined in UTR36 by REQUIRING "shortest form" encoding for syslog applications.
It should say:
"Shortest Form" encoding is REQUIRED for syslog applications to guard against the technical issues outlined in UTR36.
Notes:
"REQUIRING" is not a RFC 2119 keyword.

Section 6 says:
SD-NAME = 1*32PRINTUSASCII ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (") ... PRINTUSASCII = %d33-126
It should say:
SD-NAME = 1*32PRINTUSASCII ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (") ... PRINTUSASCII = %d32-126
Notes:
When excluding SP %d32 from PRINTUSASCII, then it does not make sense to state "except ..SP .."
There are more issues with the grammar:
SD_NAME forbids ']', but it should also forbid '['

Section 6.2.1 says:
4 security/authorization messages 10 security/authorization messages
It should say:
4 security/authorization messages (note 1) 10 security/authorization messages (note 1) Note 1 - Various operating systems have been found to utilize facilities 4 and 10 for security/authorization messages which seem to be similar.
Notes:
Not including the note (adapted from the one in RFC3164) causes errata like the one with ID 4967 to be erroneously reported.

Section 6.2.1. says:
15 clock daemon (note 2) (...) Table 1. Syslog Message Facilities
It should say:

Notes:
Note 2 isn't present in this document. It's an artefact from RFC 3164.
