The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6844,
"DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Resource Record".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: JINMEI Tatuya <[email-masked]>

Section: 3

Original Text
-------------
   $ORIGIN example.com
   .       CAA 0 issue "ca.example.net"

Corrected Text
--------------
   $ORIGIN example.com.
           CAA 0 issue "ca.example.net"

Notes
-----
The original text is obviously incorrect (or at least something not really intended) in that the owner name is absolute.  It just doesn't make sense to use $ORIGIN if we use an absolute owner name for the actual RR.  The "corrected text" is one representation of what I guess the author really intended.

There are other instances of the same kind of this error in this section, but I don't bother to list all of them as it should be obvious and the sense of the "fix" should be the same.
