It's good for telling people where to go when they need it. It may not 
be sufficient for ensuring that recipients actually implement it.

Also note that RFC 2231 encoding affects the grammar.

That being said, I already volunteered to profile and clarify RFC 2231 
for use in HTTP, but I'm not there yet 
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-rfc2231-in-http-latest.html>).

If we can reach agreement that it's sufficient to support only some 
parts of RFC 2231 (no continuations, no charsets other than ISO8859-1 
and UTF-8), I can try to condense that statement into a very short 
paragraph.
