RFC 5322, "Internet Message Format", October 2008

Note: This RFC has been updated by RFC 6854

Errata ID: 7382
Status: Reported
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 3.2.3 says:

ccontent        =   ctext / quoted-pair / comment

comment         =   "(" *([FWS] ccontent) [FWS] ")"

It should say:

ccontent        =   ctext / quoted-pair

comment         =   "(" *([FWS] ccontent) [FWS] ")"

Notes:

Trying to getting all possible originator formats a reader can get stuck into a circular dependency between "comment" and "ccontent" definitions.
Since "ccontent" is referenced in the "comment" definition only circular dependency should be cut there I suppose.
