Indeed it does, thanks very much - sorry to put you to the trouble.
Dunno how I missed the example...

Why the RFC uses unq() on qop-value is a mystery - the only purpose
seems to be to confuse readers ;-)

accepted by the Map Point service ... if it turns out that quite a few
servers insist on quotes, then it might be worth making this an
option.
