The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5424,
"The Syslog Protocol".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6927

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Ulrich Windl <Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de>

Section: 6

Original Text
-------------
SD-NAME         = 1*32PRINTUSASCII
                  ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (")
...

PRINTUSASCII    = %d33-126

Corrected Text
--------------
SD-NAME         = 1*32PRINTUSASCII
                  ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (")
...
PRINTUSASCII    = %d32-126

Notes
-----
When excluding SP %d32 from PRINTUSASCII, then it does not make sense to state "except ..SP .."
There are more issues with the grammar:
SD_NAME forbids ']', but it should also forbid '['

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
