Some things I found futzing with the ABNF:

- normalize the indentation (makes it easier to pull out)
- Hex literals need to be uppercase.  The false and null rules are wrong.
- DIGIT and HEXDIG are neither defined nor imported, as far as I can tell.
 I suggest:

DIGIT = %x30-39                        ; 0-9
HEXDIG = %x30-39 / %x41-46 / %x61-66   ; 0-9, A-F, or a-f
