Changed "implied WSP" to "implied *LWS" as per RFC 2616.

I think I've clarified this by the following new text:

    (for example the Sec-WebSocket-Key ABNF rule describes the 
Sec-WebSocket-Key
    header field).
    <t>Note that the following ABNF conventions are used in this section:
    Some names of the rules correspond to names of the corresponding 
header fields
    Such rules express values of the corresponding header fields, for 
example
    the Sec-WebSocket-Key ABNF rule describes the Sec-WebSocket-Key
    header field.

    ABNF rules with the "-Client" suffix in the name are only used in 
requests sent
    by the client to the server; ABNF rules with the "-Server" suffix in 
the name
    are only used in responses sent by the server to the client. For 
example,
    the ABNF rule Sec-WebSocket-Protocol-Client describes syntax of the
    Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header field sent by the client to the server.
    </t>

I think I got it right this time:

            NZDIGIT       =  "1" / "2" / "3" / "4" / "5" / "6" /
                             "7" / "8" / "9"
            version = DIGIT | (NZDIGIT DIGIT) |
                      ("1" DIGIT DIGIT) | ("2" DIGIT DIGIT)
                      ; Limited to 0-255 range
