1. Inside of the <...> in a message-id.
2. Inside of an address , or inside of <address> if the "<..>" are
present. Note that DRUMS currently allows
To: "Fred D. Bloggs" CFWS < CFWS fdbloggs CFWS @ CFWS domain.com CFWS > CFWS
No objection to the first and last CFWS in that.
3. Inside of a date-time, though it is actually recommended to include a
comment at the end with the a human-understandable timezone, as in
Tue, 11 Nov 1997 11:05:02 -0500 (EST)
Thus, we suggest all the other *CFWS in date-time should become *WS.
Note that, for news, we also have to recognise some obsolete formats such
as Tue, 11 Nov 1997 11:05:02 GMT (GMT) and also some ancient UNIX formats
that we discussed (does anybody have the details).
4. All other comments, except after addresses and date-times.
NOTE: These are in descending order of priority. The message-id one is a
MUST for us. I think we have pretty well conceded (4) by now.
