Throughout the document, when it says:

    header-field     = "Received-SPF:" [CFWS] result FWS [comment FWS]
                       [ key-value-list ] CRLF

It should say:

    header-field     = "Received-SPF:" [CFWS] result [ FWS comment ]
                       [ FWS key-value-list ] [FWS] CRLF

Notes:

As specified, this ABNF doesn't allow a header field value like result-FWS-comment with no FWS or key-value-list following it, a header field value which occurs very often in Received-SPF header fields I see in practice. (Note that FWS must contain at least one white space.) The corrected ABNF better follows practice in implementations.
