Section 5.1.4 says:

The user agent MUST use an algorithm equivalent to the following
algorithm to compute the default-path of a cookie:

It should say:

The user agent MUST use an algorithm equivalent to the following
algorithm to compute the default value for a cookie-path 
(and thereby matching the server-side semantics as defined in 4.1.2.4):

Notes:

The term "default-path" is not formally defined before and is quite misleading for the reader
A. going through the section 5.1.4 as it's only used there once and not again
until section 5.2.4 (once again) and 5.3 (once again).
B. not being a native English speaker

Furthermore, the true meaning of the "default-path" only appears sometime after at section 5.2.4 where it's finally bound altogether. Therefore, my personal recommendation would be to also replace the other occurrences of the "default-path" terms by "default cookie-path"
