Section 9.4.3 says:
This syntax defines the content of the various multi-line responses; more precisely, it defines the part of the response in the multi-line data block after any "dot-stuffing" has been undone. The numeric | portion of each non-terminal name indicates the response code that is followed by this data.
It should say:
This syntax defines the content of the various multi-line responses; more precisely, it defines the part of the response in the multi-line data block after any "dot-stuffing" has been undone. The numeric | portion of each non-terminal name indicates the response code of the | initial-response-line that is followed by this data.
Notes:
The last sentence in the RFC text is misleading; there may be (and in fact, in several cases — cf. Section 9.4.2, there indeed are) response-arguments between the response code and the data specified by the multi-line-response-content production.
