By my readying, you are correct -- the ABNF rules in 4566 suffer from 
the same flaw. From an ANBF perspective, I would propose that the 
solution is the same as Vijay and Brian detail in their draft. From a 
process perspective, I don't know how to handle it (outside of the 
relatively invisible RFC errata process).
