Section 5.1 says:
When the "psk_key_exchange_modes" extension is included in the ServerHello message, servers MUST select the psk_dhe_ke mode for the initial handshake.
It should say:
When the "psk_key_exchange_modes" extension is included in the ClientHello message, servers MUST select the psk_dhe_ke mode for the initial handshake.
Notes:
According to RFC 8446, the "psk_key_exchange_modes" extension only appears in the ClientHello message. Further, the slides presented on this topic at IETF 101show the "psk_key_exchange_modes" extension in the ClientHello message and no other place. It is pretty clear that this is an editorial error.
