I think that does make the grammar more readable.

This wording is a little off. Try:
The semantics of day-name, day, month, year, and time-of-day are
the same as semantics of the RFC 5322 constructs with the
corresponding name ([RFC5322], Section 3.3).
Note that this change resolves the issue for rfc1123-date but not for the
obsolete forms.
