Yes, please.

Also, it's no entirely clear why the spec depends on RFC 2616, not 
HTTPbis (although it copies some of its style).

Finally, as noted in other WGs: please do not special case the syntax of 
certain parameters. Just define *all* of them to be

   token / quoted-string

and then define additional constrains separately (see epic discussions 
in OAuth and WebSec).
