In my opinion, the critical bit on a notation packet should mean

That makes good sense, and I agree. However, the text in the draft
doesn't exactly say this (and rather implies the opposite).
I suggest adding this sentence (or similar) to the end of section
5.2.3.16. Notation Data:
When used on a notation subpacket, the critical bit refers to that
particular notation, and not to notation subpackets in general.
