The initial text was an inconsistent adoption from something of 2459 and 3280.
This demonstrates the problematics of copying text portions "for convenience."
Correcting the text as is still does not give a complete picture since it
is only a subset of rfc 3280. This kind of 'layman guide to 3280' doesn't
seem appropriate to me here.
Also, 3280 is under revision, if it happens that the corresponding text
gets clarified in some way, one would have something considered
unprecise elsewhere.
