That's my concern as well.

My gut feeling is that we want BWS to be fixed during the message 
parsing, but not necessarily during the field value parsing.

We probably can fix that in prose (preferred). Alternatively, we could 
add yet another ABNF rule (this might negatively affect a few specs in 
the RFC Editor Queue, though).
