Hello all,

I think I'll published the revised draft today with the folloeing constr:

n^(a)m = *LWS element <n-1>*<m-1>(*LWS a *LWS element)

like used in the HttpBIS WG draft. So this constr. will be available
on the ABNF spec.

LWS rule can simply be copied to rge specification of discussed construction.

Yes, I agree but I want to put this rule but improved to RFC5234 as it
doe *not* have this rule. And what means "If you can wait for HTTPbis
