I've modified the entry for this to be a bit more careful and accurate, since 
RFC 822 refers to its form of BNF as 'augmented'...

However the focus of this entry is to highlight the need to have specs be 
careful to cite the form of BNF being used and I certainly agree with that.

However it's a bit ironic that the BNF-checking tool that is cited does not 
declare what version /it/ checks against...
