All of which boils down to saying 'you can put CFWS on either side of
a ";" or on either side of an "="'.

Is that correct?

- From my reading of the rfc's, it is.

An alternative way would that I am toying with would be to say: 

token = 1*<any (US-ASCII) CHAR except SP, CTLs or tspecials>
value = [CFWS] token [CFWS] / quoted-string
attribute = [CFWS] token [CFWS]
<snip>

But that would imply that the CFWS is _part_ of value and attribute, 
resp. It isn't. CFWS is never semantically relevant.
