First of all, the paragraph you are referring to here is not subject of 
the errata. The errata corrects the last paragraph of section 17.5 only.

The errata aims to correct those items that have been reported by the 
N0942 defect report. This defect report contains only an item for the 
last paragraph of 17.5. However, you are right that RFC 3987 uses the 
term "relative IRI" rather than "relative-path". The term relative-path 
is used within RFC 3986, which is extended by RFC 3987.

This seems to be a spelling error that should be corrected before 
publication of the errata.

The errata aims to reply to the items of N0942, which reported that the 
term "protocol" is used rather than "scheme" and that the 2nd half of 
the paragraph is unclear.

Turning the last paragraph additionally into a non-normative note may be 
an option for the future.

The references to above attributes are not subject of the errata.

However, you are right that "chart:axis-interval-major" should read 
"chart:interval-major" and "chart:axis-interval-minor" should read 
"chart:interval-minor-divisor".

We have concentrated here on clarifying the reported mismatch between 
the attributes listed in the description and the attributes defined by 
the schema in the same section, and have added the names of the 
attributes that are actually defined by this section. However, we have 
unfortunately overseen that in addition to this the attribute names that 
were already listed are also incorrect.

So, the correction itself is correct, but there is still another error 
that is not corrected by the errata.

Best regards

Michael
