3.3.1, second paragraph last sentence. Not sure changes here improve the
situation however as it's the background to the BNF construct.

14.18, first paragraph last sentence. Changing this to refer to the BNF
instead of RFC1123 would make a lot sense as it's not really the RFC1123
date allowed (restricted to GMT)..

just look for the RFC 1123 references relating to dates..

Looks better.
