Section 3.2 says:
CRLF-separated key/value pairs
It should say:
LF- or CRLF-separated key/value pairs
Notes:
Rationale:
1. The definition of 'sts-policy-term' in the grammar explicitly allows use of either CRLF or bare LF.
2. On page 8, one of the example says "<CRLF>" explicitly at the end of the first line, while the second line of that example and all lines of the other example have neither "<CRLF>" nor "<LF>" appended to them. That makes it ambiguous whether those lines are terminated by LF or by CRLF.

Section 3.1 says:
sts-field-delim = *WSP ";" *WSP
It should say:
sts-field-delim = ";" *WSP
Notes:
The following text appears within the same section:
> If multiple TXT records for "_mta-sts" are returned by the resolver, records that do not begin with "v=STSv1;" are discarded.
The current definition of sts-field-delim is incompatible with that instruction. Either the instruction needs to be changed, a new delimiter needs to be defined that doesn't permit whitespace before the semicolon, or sts-field-delim needs to be modified.
