Good point:

   Expect       = 1#expectation

   expectation  = "100-continue" / expectation-extension
   expectation-extension = token [ "=" ( token / quoted-string )
                            *expect-params ]
   expect-params = ";" token [ "=" ( token / quoted-string ) ]

So this allows values here as well.

I'm still not too enthusiastic about this, as I haven't seen this in use.

It appears making it a bit simpler wouldn't hurt a lot. So you'd have 
for instance

   Prefer: wait; sec=10
