The syntax used to say, for example,
Summary-content = 1*( [FWS] utext )
(which was wrong BTW, because I promised in 4.2.3 that every content would end
in optional FWS).
I have now defined, in 2.4.2
unstructured = 1*( [FWS] utext ) [FWS]
with a remark
Observe, in contradistinction to [RFC 2822], that an unstructured
MUST contain at least one non-whitespace character (see also remarks
about empty headers in 4.2.6).
and I have used unstructured in the syntax of the Subject, Organization and
Summary headers. This also makes it a little easier to use the term
"unstructured" at various places in section 4, such as when explaining why
parameters do not need to be allowed in those headers.
