Section 5, 6 says:

Section 5: 
  "aaa","bbb","ccc" CRLF
Section 6: 
  "aaa","b CRLF
  bb","ccc" CRLF
  zzz,yyy,xxx

It should say:

Section 5:
  "aaa","bbb","ccc"CRLF
Section 6:
  "aaa","b CRLF
  bb","ccc"CRLF
  zzz,yyy,xxx

Notes:

As implied in the ABNF grammar, escaped (quoted) fields may not be followed by a space.
The corrected text removes those spaces from the examples, making them syntactically correct.
