Section 3.5 says: 

       sig-h-tag       = %x68 [FWS] "=" [FWS] hdr-name
                     0*( *FWS ":" *FWS hdr-name )

It should say:

       sig-h-tag       = %x68 [FWS] "=" [FWS] hdr-name
                     0*( [FWS] ":" [FWS] hdr-name )

Notes:

Confirmed by many occurrences of [FWS] in this section the intention is to allow optional "folding white space" with at most one folding. Compare section 2.3 in this memo for the rationale; more than one folding is known as <obs-FWS> in RFC 2822 and MUST NOT be generated.
