Re: Misc review notes for draft-18 p1

It appears that RFC 2616 section 19.3 also grants both LF and CRLF,
but not CRCRLF etc.

   The line terminator for message-header fields is the sequence CRLF.
   However, we recommend that applications, when parsing such headers,
   recognize a single LF as a line terminator and ignore the leading CR.
