RFC Errata
RFC 7231, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content", June 2014
Note: This RFC has been obsoleted by RFC 9110
Source of RFC: httpbis (wit)
Errata ID: 4224

Section 4.1 and A. D says:
method = token
It should say:
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.
