It's also not strictly technically wrong. The client TLS implementation
hands the ClientKeyExchange message to the component of the client that
actually sends something to the server, and in that step, the client indeed
"conveys [...] information to the client in the ClientKeyExchange message":
that's certainly not something that implementors need to be told about, and
it's not what the authors of the specification meant to tell implementors,
but it's still correct. (It's also not strictly necessary to tell the
reader here that the ClientKeyExchange message will be sent to the server
-- it's not as if this element of the protocol would be underspecified if
we didn't have this information here.)

So, I certainly think that this really is a purely editorial error.
