If you want to retain those two instances of using "word" rather than "token", then yes, I agree you'd want to resurrect (in some way) that portion of 2616 you quoted. I think you'd want to be sure include the parenthetical "..two adjacent words (token or quoted-string).." that indicates that what the prose is referring to as a "word" is either a token or a quoted-string in the ABNF. =JeffH
