I can hold off on rejecting the erratum if you can come up with a better text 
that everyone agrees with. As is, it is a clever play on words, but I do not 
see anything terribly wrong with it. I also wonder if the errata is Technical 
or Editorial, which I will defer to the RFC Editor to evaluate.

Cheers.
