Section 6.1.1: I think the "delta-seconds" should be:

That would copy the rule from RFC 2616 "by value".

It's a prose rule; see RFC 5234 prose-val. It's used here to define the
ABNF rule "by reference".
The reference form in theory is safer because there's only a single
definition, so no conflicts are possible.

PS: we use the prose-val style a lot in HTTPbis for referencing ABNF
from other documents, so if there's a problem with that I'd like to
learn ASAP about it :-)
