  Most people are not aware of generic RFC 822 tokenization rules
  which essentially tell that you can sprinkle LWSP and comments
  at so many places that they are complete nuisance...

  Having thus MIME (sub-)header saying:

      Content-Type: something / subtype ; foo = value (really!);
                bar = value

  has same meaning as:

      Content-Type: something/subtype; foo=value; bar=value
