Better without the [8], making it an internal reference to the grammar.
The rfc1123-date is not a copy of RFC1123, only a subset thereof.

The relation to RFC 1123 is already well established elsewhere in 3.3.1,
including the MUST level requirement on sending the RFC 1123 derived
format.

A similar RFC 1123 reference which is better replaced by a rfc1123-date
grammar reference is also seen in 14.21 Last-Modified.
