EDIT: Section 11.1 userid-password

I cut too many corners on this one -- the BNF is ambiguous.
Please change

    basic-cookie   = <base64 [7] encoding of userid-password,
                               except not limited to 76 char/line>

    userid-password = [ token ] ":" *TEXT

to

    basic-cookie   = <base64 [7] encoding of user-pass,
                      except not limited to 76 char/line>

    user-pass = userid ":" password

    userid    = [ token ]
    password  = *TEXT
