Section 4.2 says:
parameters = (parameter *WSP ";" *WSP parameters) / parameter parameter = tag *WSP "=" *WSP value tag = (ALPHA / DIGIT) *( *("-") (ALPHA / DIGIT)) value = *(%x21-3A / %x3C-7E)
It should say:
parameters = (parameter *WSP ";" *WSP parameters) / parameter parameter = parameter-tag *WSP "=" *WSP parameter-value parameter-tag = (ALPHA / DIGIT) *( *("-") (ALPHA / DIGIT)) parameter-value = *(%x21-3A / %x3C-7E)
Notes:
1. Original text uses "tag" and "value" in the ABNF is ambiguous or conflicting with the usage of "tag" and "value" in terms "Property Tag" and "Property Value" (which are in the main CAA context).
2. The text for "tag" (meaning Property Tag) in 4.1.1 reads:
Tag: A non-zero-length sequence of ASCII letters and numbers in
lowercase.
3. The Tag definition above does not have an ABNF definition. This can (and does) lead to confusion for implementers.
The above change to the ABNF removes the ambiguity, without changing the meaning of the ABNF itself.

Section 7 says:
It also allows hyphens in Property Tags.
It should say:
It also allows hyphens in tags of Property Value of issue and issuewild Property Tags.
Notes:
Subsection 4.1 explicitly prohibits hyphens in Property Tags.
While obsoleted RFC 6844 did not allow hyphens in tags of Property Value of issue and issuewild Property Tags, new ABNF definition in subsection 4.2 allows them.
