Section 2.1 says:

If The Registry of the Moon desires to express information not found
in this specification, it might select "lunarNIC" as its identifying
prefix and insert, as an example, the member named
"lunarNIC_beforeOneSmallStep" to signify registrations occurring
before the first moon landing and the member named
"lunarNIC_harshMistressNotes" that contains other descriptive text.

Consider the following JSON response with JSON names, some of which
should be ignored by clients without knowledge of their meaning.

{
  "handle" : "ABC123",
  "lunarNIC_beforeOneSmallStep" : "TRUE THAT!",
  "remarks" :
  [
    {
      "description" :
      [
        "She sells sea shells down by the sea shore.",
        "Originally written by Terry Sullivan."
      ]
    }
  ],
  "lunarNIC_harshMistressNotes" :
  [
    "In space,",
    "nobody can hear you scream."
  ]
}

It should say:

If The Registry of the Moon desires to express information not found
in this specification, it might select "lunarNIC_level_0" as its
identifying prefix and insert, as an example, the member named
"lunarNIC_level_0_beforeOneSmallStep" to signify registrations occurring
before the first moon landing and the member named
"lunarNIC_level_0_harshMistressNotes" that contains other descriptive
text.

Consider the following JSON response with JSON names, some of which
should be ignored by clients without knowledge of their meaning.

{
  "handle" : "ABC123",
  "lunarNIC_level_0_beforeOneSmallStep" : "TRUE THAT!",
  "remarks" :
  [
    {
      "description" :
      [
        "She sells sea shells down by the sea shore.",
        "Originally written by Terry Sullivan."
      ]
    }
  ],
  "lunarNIC_level_0_harshMistressNotes" :
  [
    "In space,",
    "nobody can hear you scream."
  ]
}
Figure 2

Notes:

The original text uses the string identifier "lunarNIC" as the prefix for an example extension. This is inconsistent with the example given in Section 4.1, where "lunarNIC_level_0" is used as an example of a registered identifier for an RDAP extension. This inconsistency can lead implementers to believe that the registered identifier and the extension prefix can be inconsistent, when the intent of the specification is that they should be consistent. This inconsistency can cause significant misunderstanding of the technical specification and might result in faulty implementations if not corrected. Changing the examples in Section 2.1 aligns the text with the example in Section 4.1, demonstrating that the extension prefix and the registered identifier should be one and the same.

Section 4.1 says:

The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings,
each providing a hint as to the specifications used in the construction
of the response.

It should say:

The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings,
each identifying a registered specification used in the construction
of the response.

Notes:

The original text uses the word "hint", which some people have interpreted to mean "not normative" and/or "can be ignored". This misinterpretation will likely cause significant misunderstanding of the technical specification and might result in faulty implementations if not corrected. The intention and meaning of this sentence is more clearly specified with the corrected text, noting that the array of string identifiers is directly associated with the set of specifications used to construct an RDAP response.

Section Appendix F says:

   *  Noted that all members of the "events" and "Public IDs" arrays are
      REQUIRED.

It should say:

   *  Noted which members of the "events" and "Public IDs" arrays are
      REQUIRED.

Notes:

According to the "events" array, not all members are REQUIRED.
