Thanks, that was my impression as well - just fixing ambiguous text

It appears that Mark Svancarek (CELA) via UA-EAI <marksv@microsoft.com> said:
-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=- Hmm, I am not so sure.
Scott, could you clarify the potential impact of this errata report?
I'm not Scott but it's just fixing a minor wording error. The old wording could have been misinterpreted to say that it made EAI mandatory for every mail system. The new wording expresses the reality that EAI is an extension that some mail systems support and some do not.
To point out the obvious, the IETF is not the Network Police, and even if they had wanted to say that EAI was mandatory for every mail system, people would just have ignored it.

Sections 3.3 and 3.7.3 say:
Original Text ------------- The <Mailbox> ABNF rule is imported from RFC 5321 and updated in order to support the internationalized email address.
The following ABNF rules imported from RFC 5321, Section 4.1.2, are updated directly or indirectly by this document:
This document updates <Mailbox> and <Domain> to support non-ASCII characters.
Corrected Text -------------- The <Mailbox> ABNF rule is imported from RFC 5321 and extended in order to support the internationalized email address.
The following ABNF rules imported from RFC 5321, Section 4.1.2, are extended directly or indirectly by this document:
This document extends <Mailbox> and <Domain> to support non-ASCII characters.
Notes ----- The original text can be incorrectly interpreted to suggest that the definitions found in RFC 6531 formally update the definitions found in RFC 5321. RFC 6531 does not formally update RFC 5321. As such, a word like "extends" may be less prone to misinterpretation than "updates".
