Harald, I'm happy to accept your interpretation of the problem.
However it also leads me to the conclusion that documenting possible
reasons not to use ABNF's LWSP concept, or documenting implications of
that rule would be a good idea.  I also believe that documenting
experience with a spec in future versions of that spec as it advances
is reasonable.
