I looked at the document diff. Wording in several places was revised along  
these lines:
Old: "The header field contains the individual mailbox.."

New: "The header field contains information about the individual mailbox.."

This kind of change was consistent in several place, but in one instance –  
which I noticed before – the old phrasing remained:
  "Delivered-To:"  FWS *phrase Mailbox *phrase CRLF
                   ; Mailbox is from [SMTP]

  Note:  The field records only a single mailbox, for one recipient.

It would be more consistent for this to also be updated to:

  Note:  The field records information about only a single mailbox, for
  one recipient.
