>p.1 Expires date has wrong year!
yep, I caught that one before submitting to IETF (I just edited the PS
version, so no need to get a new copy).
>p.8 under implied *LWS: (tspecials) should be Helvetica font
yep. I do hope that the font changes help in reading the text, since they
sure are a pain to keep consistent.

I'm not sure which is "better" English for a spec. MIME uses both.

wow, you must be reading it with a magnifying glass. ;-)
I think I'll just delete "it having a".

No. RFC 1123 accepts a much larger set of formats -- the HTTP one is
simply a fixed and unambiguous format that is acceptable by RFC 1123.

yep.

yep.
