Given that RFC 5730 is part of Standard 69 there's not much chance of a near-term amendment, but our process allows us to collect errata. I'm not convinced that there's anything here to correct, though. Section 2.5 currently says this:

"MAY be used to uniquely identify the command *to the client*"

(emphasis mine), and


"Clients are responsible for maintaining their own transaction identifier space to ensure uniqueness."

This doesn't seem ambiguous to me.
