When I wrote the chunked encoded parser for libcurl I hadn't realized the idea 
of implied *LWS.

Now, eleven years later I check the code just because of this mail thread and 
I'll be darned - it doesn't allow white spaces after the hex digits! This 
said, I don't think I've _ever_ seen a bug (report) due to this.

I wouldn't mind if we spelled out HTTPbis to not allow them as they basically 
never happen in the wild.
