I think the first "ECT" should be "ECTs"; I can't parse the part after
the semicolon. There should probably be a comma before "see". Same for
the next parameter.

Editorially the above is quite horrible, maybe a table to map the values
to the RFCs would be better. Also, there should be some prose to set the
context here (why would one "see" all the referenced documents, and why
are there no security considerations for the type right here, beyond the
suggestion to look elsewhere).
