Section 8.6, pg.27 says:

[[ last paragraph of section 8.6 ]]

|
|  The flags and DSCP are identical to the same fields of the AGGREGATE-
|  IPv4 and AGGREGATE-IPv6 SESSION objects.

It should say:

[[ nothing ]]

Notes:

Rationale: The text in this paragraph does not match the preceding
artwork for Class = 11, C-Type = 16 and 17; it is spurious and
needs to be deleted.

   described in Section 7.3.  The AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv4 (respectively,
   AGGREGATE-IPv6-VPN) SESSION object appears in RSVP messages that
   ordinarily contain a AGGREGATE-IPv4 (respectively, AGGREGATE-IPv6)
   SESSION object as defined in [RFC3175] and are sent between ingress
   PE and egress PE in either direction.  The GENERIC-AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv4
|  (respectively, AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv6) SESSION object should appear in
   all RSVP messages that ordinarily contain a GENERIC-AGGREGATE-IPv4
   (respectively, GENERIC-AGGREGATE-IPv6) SESSION object as defined in
   [RFC4860] and are sent between ingress PE and egress PE in either
   direction.  [...]

Section 4, pg. 15 says:

[[ last paragraph of Section 4 ]]

   To achieve effective admission control in the backbone, there needs
   to be some way to separate the data-plane traffic that has a
   reservation from that which does not.  We assume that packets that
   are subject to admission control on the core will be given a
|  particular MPLS EXP value, and that no other packets will be allowed
   to enter the core with this value unless they have passed admission
   control.  Some fraction of link resources will be allocated to queues
|  on core links for packets bearing that EXP value, and the MPLS-TE
   tunnels will use that resource pool to make their constraint-based
   routing and admission control decisions.  This is all consistent with
   the principles of aggregate RSVP reservations described in [RFC3175].

It should say:

Notes:

Rationale: s/EXP/Traffic Class/ !
RFC 5462 has carefully changed the terminology and updated numerous
RFCs; it has given a detailed explantion why this needs to be done
consistently and confirmed that all future RFCs should unconditionally
use the updated terms.

Section 8.5, pg.25/2 says:

a) [[ on mid-page 25: ]]

|  The Reserved field MUST be set to zero on transmit and ignored on
   receipt.

b) [[ last paragraph of the section, on page 26: ]]

|  The Reserved field MUST be set to zero on transmit and ignored on
   receipt.

It should say:

a) and b)

|  The Reserved fields MUST be set to zero on transmit and ignored on
   receipt.

Notes:

Rationale:
a) There are _two_ Reserved fields in the AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv{4|6}
SESSION objects, as shown in the preceding artwork in the RFC;
the said treatment applies to both.
b) dto. for the GENERIC-AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv{4|6} SESSION objects.

Section 8.7,pg.27/28 says:

|  The usage of Aggregated VPN-IPv4 FILTER_SPEC object is described in
|  Section 7.3.  The AGGREGATE-VPN-IPv4 FILTER_SPEC object appears in
|  RSVP messages that ordinarily contain a AGGREGATE-IPv4 FILTER_SPEC
   object as defined in [RFC3175] and [RFC4860], and are sent between
   ingress PE and egress PE in either direction.  These objects MUST NOT
   be included in any RSVP messages that are sent outside of the
   provider's backbone (except in the inter-AS Option-B and Option-C
|  cases, as described above, when it may appear on inter-AS links).

   The processing rules for these objects are otherwise identical to
|  those of the VPN-IPv4 FILTER_SPEC object defined in Section 8.3.  The
   format of the object is as follows:

Notes:

Rationale:
a) missing article
b) incomplete specification; the use of "These objects" as well as the
references to two different RFCs (one for the IPv4 case, one for the
IPv6 case) are strong indications that this text should be phrased
in a similar manner as in preceding subsections of Section 8, i.e.
it should include mention of the equivalent object for the IPv6 case
as well (this qualifies the Errata Note as Technical);
c) s/a AGGREGATE/an AGGREGATE/
d) singular/plural mismatch: s/it/they/ .

Section Abstract says:

   RFC 4364 and RFC 4659 define an approach to building provider-
   provisioned Layer 3 VPNs (L3VPNs) for IPv4 and IPv6.  It may be
|  desirable to use Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to perform
   admission control on the links between Customer Edge (CE) routers and
   Provider Edge (PE) routers.  [...]

Section 3.2,1st para says:

   the PE needs to establish suitable Path state and forward the Path
   message on to the egress PE.  In the following paragraphs, we
