Section 2.2 says:

      *  One or more <mark:protection> elements that contain the         countries and region of the country where the mark is         protected.  The <mark:protection> element contains the         following child elements:         +  A <mark:cc> element that contains the two-character code of            the country in which the mark is protected.  This is a two-            character code from [ISO3166-2].         +  An OPTIONAL <mark:region> element that contains the name of            a city, state, province, or other geographic region of            <mark:country> in which the mark is protected.         +  Zero or more OPTIONAL <mark:ruling> elements that contain            the two-character code of the national territory in which            the statute or treaty is applicable.  This is a two-            character code from [ISO3166-2].         +  Zero or more OPTIONAL <mark:label> elements; see definition            in the <mark:trademark> section above.

It should say:

      *  One or more <mark:protection> elements that contain the         countries and region of the country where the mark is         protected.  The <mark:protection> element contains the         following child elements:         +  A <mark:cc> element that contains the two-character code of            the country in which the mark is protected.  This is a two-            character code from [ISO3166-2].         +  An OPTIONAL <mark:region> element that contains the name of            a city, state, province, or other geographic region of            <mark:country> in which the mark is protected.         +  Zero or more OPTIONAL <mark:ruling> elements that contain            the code from [ISO3166-2] of the national territory in which            the statute or treaty is applicable.      *  Zero or more OPTIONAL <mark:label> elements; see definition         in the <mark:trademark> section above.

Notes:

ISO 3166-2 subdivisions are not strictly two-character codes, but can be numeric or contain more than two characters, so the description of the <mark:ruling> element needs to be changed.

Additionally, the indentation of the <mark:label> element makes it appear as a child of <mark:protection>, which is in contradiction to the XML schema on pages 17 and 18.

Throughout the document, when it says:

All occurrences citing [ISO3166-2]

It should say:

Replace with [ISO3166]

Notes:

The RFC mistakenly references ISO 3166-2 for general country codes which is incorrect. Country codes are defined in ISO 3166-1, the 2-character codes used throughout this document in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, administrative subdivisions in ISO 3166-2. The actual content of the citation points to the general standards "family" already.
