Section 3.7.3 says:

                                   If RB1 chooses nickname x, and RB1
      discovers, through receipt of an LSP for RB2 at any later time,
      that RB2 has also chosen x, then the RBridge or pseudonode with
      the numerically higher IS-IS ID (LAN ID) keeps the nickname, or if
      there is a tie in priority, the RBridge with the numerically
      higher IS-IS System ID keeps the nickname, and the other RBridge
      MUST select a new nickname.

It should say:

If RB1
chooses nickname x, and RB1 discovers, through receipt of an LSP for
RB2 at any later time, that RB2 has also chosen x, then the RBridge or
pseudonode with the numerically higher priority keeps the nickname, or
if there is a tie in priority, the RBridge with the numerically higher
seven-byte IS-IS ID (LAN ID) keeps the nickname, and the other RBridge
MUST select a new nickname.

Notes:

Comparison is primarily by priority and then by IS-IS ID. Since pseudonodes can hold nicknames, the comparison must be by seven-byte IS-IS ID, not six-byte System ID.

Section 4.6.2 says:

   1. If the Outer.MacDA is All-IS-IS-RBridges and the Ethertype is
      L2-IS-IS, the frame is handled as described in Section 4.6.2.1.

It should say:

   1. If the Ethertype is L2-IS-IS and the Outer.MacDA is either
      All-IS-IS-RBridges or the unicast MAC address of the receiving 
      RBridge port, the frame is handled as described in Section 4.6.2.1

Notes:

TRILL IS-IS MTU PDUs may be unicast as described in Section 4.3.2 of RFC 6325 and Section 5 of RFC 6327. This was not allowed for in the wording of Section 4.6.2 of RFC 6325 but is corrected above.

Section 4.3.2 says:

                                    The MTU-probe MAY be multicast to
   All-RBridges, or unicast to a specific RBridge.  The MTU-ack is
   normally unicast to the source of the MTU-probe to which it responds
   but MAY be multicast to All-RBridges.

It should say:

                                     The MTU-probe MUST be multicast to
   All-IS-IS-RBridges or unicast to a specific RBridge.  The MTU-ack is
   normally unicast to the source of the MTU-probe to which it responds
   but MAY be multicast to All-IS-IS-RBridges.

Notes:

TRILL IS-IS MTU PDUs are IS-IS PDUs and, when multicast, must be sent to the All-IS-IS-RBridges multicast address.

(up to the maximum of {j,k})

It should say:

(up to k if j is zero or the minimum of ( j, k) if j is
non-zero)

Section 4.3.2 says:

If X is not greater than Sz, then RB1 sets the "failed minimum MTU
test" flag for RB2 in RB1's Hello. If size X succeeds, and X > Sz,
then RB1 advertises the largest tested X for each adjacency in the
TRILL Hellos RB1 sends on that link, and RB1 MAY advertise X as an
attribute of the link to RB2 in RB1's LSP.

It should say:

If X is not greater than or equal to Sz, then RB1 sets the "failed
minimum MTU test" flag for RB2 in RB1's Hello. If size X succeeds, and
X >= Sz, then RB1 advertises the largest tested X for each adjacency
in the TRILL Hellos RB1 sends on that link, and RB1 MAY advertise X as
an attribute of the link to RB2 in RB1's LSP.

Section 4.5.1 says:

In other words, the set of potential parents for N, for the tree
rooted at R, consists of those that give equally minimal cost paths
from N to R and that have distinct IS-IS IDs, based on what is
reported in LSPs.

It should say:

In other words, the set of potential parents for N, for the tree 
rooted at R, consists of those that give equally minimal cost paths 
from R to N and that have distinct IS-IS IDs, based on what is 
reported in LSPs.

Notes:

Link costs can be asymmetric. The above erroneous sentence is inconsistent with the rest of 4.5.1 and normal practice. Furthermore, it is important to fix this and resolve the inconsistency because, if all RBridges in a TRILL campus do not compute the same trees, the reverse path forwarding check for multi-destination TRILL Data packet routing can erroneously discard such packets.

Section 4.9.1 says:

   o  End-station service disable (trunk port) bit.  When this bit is
      set, all native frames received on the port and all native frames
      that would have been sent on the port are discarded.  (See
      Appendix B.)  (Note that, for this document, "native frames" does
      not include Layer 2 control frames.)  By default, ports are not
      restricted to being trunk ports.

      If a port with end-station service disabled reports, in a TRILL-
      Hello frame it sends out that port, which VLANs it provides end-
      station support for, it reports that there are none.

   o  TRILL traffic disable (access port) bit.  If this bit is set, the
      goal is to avoid sending any TRILL frames, except TRILL-Hello
      frames, on the port since it is intended only for native end-
      station traffic.  By default, ports are not restricted to being
      access ports.  This bit is reported in TRILL-Hello frames.  If RB1
      is the DRB and has this bit set in its TRILL-Hello, the DRB still
      appoints VLAN forwarders.  However, usually no pseudonode is
      reported, and none of the inter-RBridge links associated with that
      link are reported in LSPs.

      If the DRB RB1 does not have this bit set, but neighbor RB2 on the
      link does have the bit set, then RB1 does not appoint RB2 as
      appointed forwarder for any VLAN, and none of the RBridges
      (including the pseudonode) report RB2 as a neighbor in LSPs.


It should say:

      link are reported in LSPs.

Notes:

There is a paragraph in the wrong place so that it appears to apply to the wrong bit.

The second paragraph of bullet item 3 in Section 4.9.1 (the second bullet item at the top of page 72) is in the wrong place and appears to apply to the TRILL traffic disable (access port) bit. This text should instead be part of the previous bullet item and, in fact, applies to the end-station service disable (trunk port) bit.
