Corrected Text

                       "{" stmtsep

                           [min-elements-stmt]
                           [max-elements-stmt]
                       "}") stmtsep


Notes
-----
Section 7.20.3.2 specifies all permitted substatements for the "deviate" statement however the ABNF grammar specifies different valid substatements per deviate argument.  The "delete" argument is one such that only contains a subset of what is defined in the substatement table in this section.

The errata mentioned at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5489 is meant to correct the following statement

"""
The argument "delete" deletes properties from the target node.  The
properties to delete are identified by substatements to the "delete"
statement.
"""

However this either needs to be a per argument table or ABNF correction

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
