As far as I know, there is no minimum "severity" requirement for errata.
Obviously, errors that affect interoperability more urgently demand correction.
I'd have no objection to putting the corrections (e.g., mis-spelled or
truncated object descriptors appearing in DESCRIPTIONs) in a note,
since they'd help others avoid some head-scratching when reading the RFC.

It's good to get such detailed feedback, and Alfred should be commended
for taking the time to send in his thoughtful comments.
