13Section 5.5 says:

14

15This mechanism matches if

16

17o the <target-name> is a subdomain of a validated domain name, or

18

19o the <target-name> and a validated domain name are the same.

20

21It should say:

22This mechanism matches if

23

24o a validated domain name is a subdomain of the <target-name>, or

25

26o the <target-name> and a validated domain name are the same.

28Notes:

29

30The first bullet point is in contradiction to the description of the ptr mechanism evaluation in the preceding paragraph:

31"Check all validated domain names to see if they either match the <target-name> domain or are a subdomain of the <target-name> domain. If any do, this mechanism matches. If no validated domain name can be found, or if none of the validated domain names match or are a subdomain of the <target-name>, this mechanism fails to match."
