I don't have any string position in the way of importing the productions 
from other documents.  However, what is above is what I like more.  
However, what we can see, eg. in 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5538#appendix-A can be fine as well.

There is the following formulation:

>
> foo-header = *(APHA/DIGIT)

will result in the message headers like:

>          Upgrade: TLS/1.2
>          Connection: Upgrade
>          gfr134

and "gfr134" will be the 'Foo' header.  "foo-header = "Foo:" 
*(APHA/DIGIT)" will result in valid:

>          Upgrade: TLS/1.2
>          Connection: Upgrade
>          Foo: gfr134

See also eg. RFC 3282, RFC 2616.

The document may reference the httpbis-p1 where the <n>#<m>rule 
extension will be described for valid ABNF.  See 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-15#section-1.2.1

I believe there is no problems to make the 0..9 spare, except 1, for 
this version of WS.
