I meant, why not write them like this:

  day-name = %x4D.6F.6E  ; "Mon", case-sensitive
           / %x54.75.65  ; "Tue", case-sensitive
           / %x57.65.64  ; "Wed", case-sensitive
           / %x54.68.75  ; "Thu", case-sensitive
           / %x46.72.69  ; "Fri", case-sensitive
           / %x53.61.74  ; "Sat", case-sensitive
           / %x53.75.6E  ; "Sun", case-sensitive

It's not really a big deal, but I think this way is clearer.
