So you are saying that the most that is allowed is

    ()token*0()=()token()
       ditto   =()"quoted-string"()
       ditto   =()ascii'en_US'foo%20bar()

After each "ditto", too.

All extended-*-{name,value}s? productions are designed to be recognized 
as "token" by pre-2231 parsers. Following that thought through will 
give you quite naturally the idea of where CFWS can occur.
