There is no [ISO10646] in the References section.  Perhaps this should
be [Unicode], according to Kurt's suggestion in message 'ISO 10646 v
Unicode' of 07 Jan 2004.  OTOH, UTF-8 is defined in terms of Iso10646,
not Unicode, so [Unicode] does seem strange here.

[UTF-8] should be [RFC3639].

BTW, There are 10646's in [Filters] and [Protocol] too.

What is a refine of a syntax?

This is a strange change from Models-09, which said

        xstring = X   HYPHEN 1*( ALPHA  / HYPHEN / USCORE )

The X was uppercase only, now it can be either case.
The rest could be either case, now it is uppercase only.
Why such a swap?

s/unambiguous/ambiguous/:-)

Add '.' at the end.  Unless some more of the sentence is missing too.

This has OID 2.5.21.9 in section 3.4.5 (structuralObjectClass).
Which is right?

Also, there are too many spaces in front of the "A 2.5.21.5".
