Previously the text said that the max sequence number was 65535 (max
unsigned 16 bit integer), but also said this was (1<<15)-1, which is
actually max signed 16 bit integer or 32767.
This spec is final and therefore will need council review but per XEP-0001 can still be modified in small ways. I think this fits within the scope of "backwards compatible" modifications since it's effectively just a typo fix.
