Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Ben Smyth <research@bensmyth.com>
Date Reported: 2020-04-28
Held by: Paul Wouters (IESG)

Section: Global

Original Text
-------------
list, series, set, and vector are seemingly used as synonyms. 

Corrected Text

   client_shares:  A list of offered KeyShareEntry values in descending

   This vector MAY be empty if the client is requesting a

(Replace "vector" with "list", or vice versa.)
