...and comments, and warning text. Quoted strings show up in a *lot*
of places (e.g., transfer codings, ETags, accept-, expect-, pragma
and cache-control extensions).
But, point taken; I missed that.
If TEXT is well-defined as allowing 2047 encoding, and 2617 refers to
it (albeit indirectly), then in most cases this is just an
implementation problem, I think. The one exception that I can see is:
passwd = < user's password >
in Digest.
*sigh*
