Sergey,
  Thanks for pointing this out.  Someone else recently raised this
issue as well in private mail and I have actually made updates such
that the I-D will be updated during the final comments period provided
by the RFC editor.
  For those that are interested, I have attached the updated
nfs4_prot.x.  Sorry about the spam but I want to make sure everyone
has a copy.
