--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Bjoern Hoehrmann <bjoern@hoehrmann.de>
Date Reported: 2015-01-09
Rejected by: Barry Leiba (IESG)

Section: 4.1 and A. D

Original Text
-------------
     method = token


Corrected Text
--------------
     method = <method, see [RFC7230], Section 3.1.1>


Notes
-----
The HTTP/1.1 RFCs define rules imported across documents using prose rules for all rules except this one. This is an error because RFC7231 does not mean to re-define the production rule.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
This is asking for an editorial change, but the errata system is not the place to record proposals for editorial improvements.  There is an issue tracker at <https://github.com/httpwg/http11bis/issues> for keeping issues for a possible future HTTP 1.1 update.
