I have reviewed the recent update, and I notice one inconsistency.

Section 2 says:

   In the absence of an application profile standard
   specifying otherwise, the maximum validity period is set to 7 days.

Section 4.1.3 says:

   1.  Validate that DelegatedCredential.cred.valid_time is no more than
       7 days.

I think that Section 2 is trying to say that an application profile can make it 
even shorter than 7 days, but on my first reading I got the opposite.
