Dear all,

As one of the authors, I agree that this erratum should be verified.
Section 8.5 registers value 0 as NOPREF, and the second paragraph of
Section 6.4 already uses that name.

Note that the same inconsistency appears in the preceding paragraph of
Section 6.4, for the HMAC ID: "A HMAC ID value of NONE (0) MAY be used...",
while Section 8.3 registers value 0 as NOPREF. It would make sense to fix
both. Since the meaning does not change, it could also be classified as
editorial.

Best regards,
Albert Cabellos
