I looked at the document diff. Wording in several places was revised along  
these lines:

Old: "The header field contains the individual mailbox.."

New: "The header field contains information about the individual mailbox.."

This kind of change was consistent in several place, but in one instance –  
which I noticed before – the old phrasing remained:

   "Delivered-To:"  FWS *phrase Mailbox *phrase CRLF
                    ; Mailbox is from [SMTP]

   Note:  The field records only a single mailbox, for one recipient.

It would be more consistent for this to also be updated to:

   Note:  The field records information about only a single mailbox, for
   one recipient.
