I agree that the erratum is an editorial, not technical, change.

It is a slight improvement on the current wording, but is in no way
required for interoperability, since the same information is available
at the source already cited in the paragraph (the TLS ExtensionType
Values subregistry at IANA).

I recommend that we keep it in the editorial queue for folding
in if/when the RFC is ever revised for other reasons.
