Section 7 says:
; New "clause" that can be used in the Received header field Pri = CFWS "PRIORITY" FWS priority-value ; Complies with the <Additional-Registered-Clauses> ; non-terminal syntax from RFC 5321.
It should say:
; New "clause" that can be used in the Received header field Pri = CFWS "priority" FWS priority-value ; Complies with the <Additional-Registered-Clauses> ; non-terminal syntax from RFC 5321.
Notes:
All the subclauses of the "Received:" header in RFC 5321 are lowercase ("from", "by", "via", "with", "id", and "for" - in that order). I suggest that "PRIORITY" also be lower cased ("priority") for consistency.
Additional note: As this is the first additional clause, it obviously trails the others defined in RFC 5321 per the ABNF syntax found there. However, all future additional clauses should indicate their placement relative to additional clauses added to the list before them (i.e. RFC 5321 does not specify an order for the additional clauses, but each individual future RFC that proposes them should).
