The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3611,
"RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP XR)".

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Stephen James <[email-masked]>

Section: 5.1

Original Text
-------------
rtcp-xr-attrib = "a=" "rtcp-xr" ":" [xr-format *(SP xr-format)] CRLF

Corrected Text
--------------
rtcp-xr-attrib = "a=" "rtcp-xr" [ ":" xr-format *(SP xr-format)] CRLF

Notes
-----
The ABNF for the attribute is causing some interoperability issues.
The text as written shows that the colon is required while the parameters are optional.
This leaves the format: "a=rtcp-xr:" the required format.  Vendors are using "a=rtcp-xr" which strictly violates the ABNF above. Moving the ':' into the optional part seems correct.

Instructions:
