RFC 5424, "The Syslog Protocol", March 2009

Source of RFC: syslog (sec)

Errata ID: 6927
Status: Reported
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 6 says:

SD-NAME         = 1*32PRINTUSASCII
                  ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (")
...

PRINTUSASCII    = %d33-126

It should say:

SD-NAME         = 1*32PRINTUSASCII
                  ; except '=', SP, ']', %d34 (")
...
PRINTUSASCII    = %d32-126

Notes:

When excluding SP %d32 from PRINTUSASCII, then it does not make sense to state "except ..SP .."
There are more issues with the grammar:
SD_NAME forbids ']', but it should also forbid '['
