DRUMS is supposed to have (and will actually have):

        CFWS = *([FWS] comment) FWS

This would appear to me to be entirely equivalent to what we currently
have, but simpler. I think it would be good to just adopt the exact
MESSFOR ABNF.

FWS allows any number of consecutive whitespace characters.
