Errata?

Are there any existing errata for OpenID specifications?

OpenID Authentication 2.0 section 4.1.2 reads:

> When a message is sent to an HTTP server, it MUST be encoded using a form
> encoding specified in Section 17.13.4 of [HTML401]

W3C HTML 4.01 Specification section 17.13.4 reads:

> Space characters are replaced by `+'

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1

 - but the example in OpenID Authentication 2.0 section 4.1.3 is:

> The following examples encode the following information:
>
> Key     | Value
> --------+---------------------------
> mode    | error
> error   | This is an example message

> x-www-urlencoded, as in a HTTP POST body or in a URL's query string
> ([RFC3986] section 3):
>
> openid.mode=error&openid.error=This%20is%20an%20example%20message

Shouldn't this example instead be as follows?

> x-www-urlencoded, as in a HTTP POST body or in a URL's query string
> ([RFC3986] section 3):
>
> openid.mode=error&openid.error=This+is+an+example+message
