My apologies -- I failed to keep this somewhwere where I would remember it when the time came. The ridiculous part is that the "authors' 48 hours" actually lasted a full month due to other delays. We can do two things now: record the corrections in the Implementor's Guide, and register them as errata against the RFC with the RFC Editor. I'll work on that today.
