Speaking of which, qdtext is now defined as:
qdtext = <any TEXT excluding <"> and "\">
That production will (IMHO) be rejected by both RFC822-style and
RFC4234-style ABNF parsers (since the the first > character ends the
prose val).
A simple fix would be to replace this by:
qdtext = <any TEXT excluding '"' and '\'>
We could also embrace the Core Rules of RCF4234
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4234.html#rfc.section.B.1>,
defining DQUOTE and using it throughout (which should be a painless
change, except for a few productions where we'd need to realign comments).
Feedback appreciated, Julian
