Yes, that's the ultimate goal. However, I think we should be very careful while updating the ABNF. Therefore it would be good if we can get it into a state where an RFC822 parser can process it first (that will allow us to parse and normalize the grammar, enabling proper change tracking). >> That production will (IMHO) be rejected by both RFC822-style and >> RFC4234-style ABNF parsers (since the the first > character ends the >> prose val). > > That would also solve problems of this nature. Understood. Best regards, Julian
