Fragmentation in RFC-3032

Hi all,

There seems to be an error in RFC-3032:

"3.4. Processing Labeled IPv4 Datagrams which are Too Big
 If a labeled IPv4 datagram is "too big", and the DF bit is not set in its IP header, then the LSR MAY silently discard the datagram. ...
 If the LSR chooses not to discard a labeled IPv4 datagram which is too big, or if the DF bit is set in that datagram, then it MUST execute the following algorithm:"
It seems that the first sentence should read " and if DF bit is set", and the second sentence should read " if DF bit is not set". 
right?
I also have a question regarding MPLS packet that are not transporting IP packets. Is any fragmentation done or the packet is silently discarded?

Yours,
