Right.

" The minimum length of the UPDATE message is 23 octets -- 19 octets
   for the fixed header + 2 octets for the Withdrawn Routes Length + 2
   octets for the Total Path Attribute Length (the value of Withdrawn
   Routes Length is 0 and the value of Total Path Attribute Length is
   0)."

Should be moved up to just after

"... the Total Path Attribute Length field and the
         Withdrawn Routes Length field."

And

" the value of Withdrawn
   Routes Length is 0 and the value of Total Path Attribute Length is
   0)."

Should be changed to 

" the min. value of Withdrawn
   Routes Length is 0 and the min. value of Total Path Attribute Length is
   0)."

The text about the mimimum length, at first look, gives the impression 
that it is still part of the NLRI field description and/or the Path 
Attributes section.  A new "subsection" or heading of some sort would be 
helpfull in switching context back to the UPDATE message as a whole and 
not the path attributes field anymore.
