At the beginning of Section 6.1, RFC 4408 (on page 23) says:

In my opinion, your suggested changes would make things slightly
clearer, but I don't think it is worth listing as an errata.

Agreed.

(3)  [suspected] ABNF issue (#1)
[snip]

no comment, not enough insight.

(4)  ABNF issue (#2)
[snip]
This appears to be an error to me.  good catch.

dito.

(5)  typo ?
[snip]
This wording dates back to at least draft-ietf-marid-protocol-00.txt
from July 12th, 2004.  No one has commented on it before, but I guess
I can see that your wording is slightly clearer.  I'm not sure that it
is worth making an errata over though.

Agreed.

(6)  inconsistent style for literal characters
[snip]
Again, I guess I agree, but I don't know if it is a big deal. 

Agreed.

(7)  incomplete text in example
[snip]
While <sender> and <domain> can be different, none of the examples use
the the include: mechanism, so I think it is reasonable to assume they
the same.

More examples are needed, especially to show differences between
include and redirect.  But it is too late for the RFC.

[snip]

Thanks again for such going over the document in such close detail.  I
wish we could have incorporated many of the changes much earlier.

Agreed.

I'm a little surprised that Alfred's comments have received zero
feedback from the spf-discuss list.

My reasons:

#1  I generally do not write "me too" kind of responses
#2  Especially that last remark: too bad it wasn't in time.
