Section 2.3.1 says:

               =/ 14( SPACE middle ) [ SPACE [ ":" ] trailing ]

It should say:

    params     =/ 14( SPACE middle ) [ SPACE [ ":" ] trailing ]

Notes:

To comply with the ABNF specification and to be consistent with the other 'incremental alternative' rule definitions in the remainder of section 2.3.1, the <params> identifier should be present at the beginning of the rule definition.
