I have added for now:
The ABNF for the Expect header field has been both fixed (allowing
parameters for value-less expectations as well) and simplified
(allowing trailing semicolons after "100-continue" when they were
invalid before). (Section 9.3)
(<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/changeset/1495>)
...just so the text as checked-in is complete.
Now with respect whether we should make this change (allowing trailing
semicolons): I'm open to reversing that, but in that case Prefer should
match that. That being said, I think the harm done by not allowing them
in both is bigger than the new edge case we introduce for 100-continue
matching.
Best regards, Julian
