The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5802,
"Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) SASL and GSS-API Mechanisms".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Jehan Pagès <jehan@zemarmot.net>

Section: 7

Original Text
-------------
   nonce           = "r=" c-nonce [s-nonce]
                     ;; Second part provided by server.

   c-nonce         = printable

   s-nonce         = printable


Corrected Text
--------------
   nonce           = "r=" c-nonce [s-nonce]
                     ;; Second part provided by server.

   c-nonce         = 1*(printable)

   s-nonce         = 1*(printable)


Notes
-----
"printable" is defined this way:
   printable       = %x21-2B / %x2D-7E
                     ;; Printable ASCII except ",".
                     ;; Note that any "printable" is also
                     ;; a valid "value".

Hence a "printable" is a single printable character (except ','). But a nonce is a "a sequence of random printable ASCII characters excluding ','" (section 5.1), as can also be seen by the examples (and common sense for a security feature using randomness).
