Section 2.2 says:

In cases where there is more than one field of only zeros, there is a
choice of how many fields can be shortened.

2001:db8:0:0:0::1
2001:db8:0:0::1
2001:db8:0::1
2001:db8::1

It should say:

In cases where there is more than one field of only zeros,there is a
choice of how many fields can be shortened, but must be shortened to 
its maximum capability.

2001:db8:0:0:0::1 is NOT acceptable
2001:db8:0:0::1 is NOT acceptable
2001:db8:0::1 is NOT acceptable
2001:db8::1 is CORRECT

Notes:

Applying section 4.2.1

Errata ID: 6272
Status: Reported

Section 4.2.1 says:

The line

> The use of the symbol "::" MUST be used to its maximum capability.

… contradicts the next section, which states that single-0 fields are not reduced.

i.e., this:

> 2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1

… is longer than:

> 2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1

Thus, the standard does not, in all cases, require that "::" be used to its maximum capability.

It should say:

The first line of 4.2.1 should be amended to be consistent with section 4.2.2

> The use of the symbol "::" MUST be used to its maximum capability to reduce consecutive 16-bit 0 fields.
