--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5764&eid=4788

--------------------------------------
Status: Verified
Type: Technical

Reported by: Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>
Date Reported: 2016-08-30
Verified by: Ben Campbell (IESG)

Section: 5.3

Original Text
-------------
Section 4.2 says:
   which are assigned as shown below.  The per-association context value
   is empty.

Corrected Text
--------------
   which are assigned as shown below.  No per-association context value
   is used.

Notes
-----
This code is somewhat ambiguous, though the better interpretation is probably that you should use a zero-length context (arm 2 of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5705#section-4). However, real implementations do not seem to use the exporter value, so we need to resolve this in that direction.
