Still in Section 5, the second-to-last paragraph on page 8 of RFC 4566
says:

   An SDP session description consists of a session-level section
   followed by zero or more media-level sections.  The session-level
   part starts with a "v=" line and continues to the first media-level
|  section.  Each media-level section starts with an "m=" line and
| continues to the next media-level section or end of the whole session
   description.  In general, session-level values are the default for
   all media unless overridden by an equivalent media-level value.

The second sentence does not accomodate for an important corner case
mentioned in the first sentence, and thus should be amended with
similar wording as below. The third sentence is imprecise as well,
because the "or" does not uniquely select the 'right' condition.

It should better say:

This looks to be a valid, if minor, issue. I propose to adopt the change.
