I have re-added the "special" rule. It's not referenced by the ABNF but
it was there to clarify "tchar":
tchar = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
/ "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~"
/ DIGIT / ALPHA
; any VCHAR, except special
special = "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" / ","
/ ";" / ":" / "\" / DQUOTE / "/" / "["
/ "]" / "?" / "=" / "{" / "}"
Best regards, Julian
