Section 4.1 says:

The UUID format is 16 octets; some bits of the eight octet variant 
field specified below determine finer structure.

It should say:

The UUID format is 16 octets; some bits of the variant 
field specified below determine finer structure.

Notes:

The original wording implies the variant field is 8 octets long. It is between 1 and 3 bits long. An alternative correction would be:

"The UUID format is 16 octets; some bits of the variant 
field in octet 8 specified below determine finer structure."
