Notes
-----
This is the same issue as Erata ID 8620 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8620), but for the next example.

This one I'm less sure about. The RFC never explicitly says whether the final padding delimiter is required or not, but, by my reading at least, does strongly imply it is required in several places.

Assuming the final padding delimiter is required, this example should include it.
