Section: 3.2

Original Text
-------------
E

Enterprise bit. This is the first bit of the Field Specifier. If
this bit is zero, the Information Element identifier identifies an
Information Element in [IANA-IPFIX], and the four-octet Enterprise
Number field MUST NOT be present. If this bit is one, the
Information Element identifier identifies an enterprise-specific
Information Element, and the Enterprise Number field MUST be
present.

Information Element identifier

A numeric value that represents the Information Element. Refer to
[IANA-IPFIX].

Corrected Text
--------------
E

Information Element identifier

A numeric value that represents the Information Element. This field
takes a value in [IANA-IPFIX] when the E bit is set to zero.

Notes
-----
Makes it explicit that the values in [IANA-IPFIX] only applies when the is E-bit is unset.

An alternative would be to simply delete "Refer to [IANA-IPFIX]." as the exact behavior is already mentioned under the E bit description.
