Hi Ilari,
Unfortunately, the situation is even more grave than allowing 0-length 
whitespace delimiters, as section 3 and section 5.2 of RFC 6844 contradict each 
other in regard to the delimiter (section 3 specifies the parameter delimiter 
as a semicolon, whereas in section 5.2 it's "0 or more whitespace characters"). 
This was pointed out in erratum 5200 
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5200). These layers of brokenness lead me 
to believe that no one should be specifying multiple parameters in 
issue/issuewild records until these issues are corrected in 6844-bis, lest they 
might experience incompatibilities between CAA record handling implementations.

 Thanks,

    I think either:
    
    - Change reference to RFC6844bis.
    - Fix examples (and other text) to be consistent with the RFC6844
      grammar (which pretty obviously splits on space/tab according to
      the grammar).
