Section 5. says:

      +=========================+================+=================+      | Element ID Octet Length | Range of Valid | Number of Valid |      |                         |  Element IDs   |     Element IDs |      +=========================+================+=================+      |            1            |  0x81 - 0xFE   |             126 |      +-------------------------+----------------+-----------------+

It should say:

      +=========================+================+=================+      | Element ID Octet Length | Range of Valid | Number of Valid |      |                         |  Element IDs   |     Element IDs |      +=========================+================+=================+      |            1            |  0x80 - 0xFE   |             127 |      +-------------------------+----------------+-----------------+

Notes:

0x80 is allowed in Matroska so in EBML as well.
