R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

The RFC isn't at all vague about encoded words not separated by white space.  
That isn't allowed by the BNF.  As you say, though, they occur in the wild and 
should be parsed correctly.

In your other point I think you mean "immediately followed by a )", right?  
Yes, that is allowed and no, we don't currently parse that correctly.

Adding the RFC tests would be great (patches gladly accepted).  Fixes for ones 
we fail would be great, too, but at the very least we can mark them as expected 
failures.  I don't usually like adding tests that we expect to fail, but in the 
case of externally defined tests such as the RFC examples I think it is 
worthwhile, so that we can check in a complete test set.
