Re: [TLS] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC4492 (4783)

Why is the type editorial? According to [1], an editorial errata is "a spelling, grammar, punctuation, or syntax error that does not affect the technical meaning". Although the mistake in RFC4492 is clearly a typo, I think it does affect the technical meaning. So I would prefer to leave the type as technical.

This looks correct, but I'd change the "type" to editorial.  Unless anybody disagrees with by next Monday, I'll ask Stephen to accept this.

I've also submitted an issue in the 4492bis github repo to get this fixed in the new draft.  I'd submit a PR, but I'm still digging out from being absent last week.
