So how does this affect a recipient of a message with multiple digits.

Consider:

   GET / HTTP/1.10
   Host: example.com

...being received by an HTTP/1.1 server implemented according to HTTPbis.

Should it reject the message as invalid?

(I don't have a problem with that, but it seems we need to state that 
one way or the other)

Best regards, Julian
