Section A.2. says:
[...] Non-US-ASCII content in header fields and the reason phrase has been obsoleted and made opaque (the TEXT rule was removed). (Section 3.2.6)
It should say:
[...] Non-US-ASCII content in header field values and the reason phrase has been obsoleted and made opaque (the TEXT rule was removed). (Section 3.2.6)
Notes:
Section 3.2 plainly states header field names are token
(VCHARs less separators) as defined in 3.2.6.
The "header fields" identified in this footnote are neither
clear nor correct.
Alexey: While this is a clarification, the whole section is likely to be deleted when the document is revised.
