RFC Editor Note

Old:
  The above is the minimum that IANA will accept.  Attributes that are
  expected to see widespread use and interoperability SHOULD be
  documented with a standards-track RFC that specifies the attribute
  more precisely.

New:
  The above is the minimum that IANA will accept.  The Expert
  Reviewer will determine if the proposed attributes are expected
  to see widespread use and interoperability; in that case, a 
   the attributes MUST be specified in a standards-track RFC.

Section 10, figure 5:
OLD:
ssrc-group-attr = "ssrc-group:" semantics *(SP ssrc-id)
  ; The definition of "semantics" is in RFC 3388.
  ; (It is the type of grouping being done.)

attribute =/ ssrc-group-attr


NEW:
ssrc-group-attr = "ssrc-group:" semantics *(SP ssrc-id)
semantics       = "FEC" / "FID" / token
                 ; Matches RFC 3388 definition and
                 ; IANA registration rules in this doc.
token           = <as defined in RFC 4566>

attribute       =/ ssrc-group-attr
