The original text is correct and doesn’t need fixing. Well, at least the quoted 
extract doesn’t.

Domain names are written left to right. So the final label (apart from the 
terminating NUL label for all the pedants on this list) is the rightmost 
component. Saying "final (rightmost) label” removes any uncertainty or scope 
for ambiguity. Saying “final label” would ADD that uncertainty for anyone out 
there who’s on really good drugs^W^W^W^W^Wusing a DNS-like name space that’s 
ordered from right to left. Mind you someone that misguided is unlikely to ever 
read this draft or RFC if it gets that far.
