I don't know how to read 3.1.4 and 3.4.3 in RFC 822 and not come up with that interpretation.

So I would say that, given input like "+0000", the sign and the digits together make up an "atom" per the description in section 3.1.4 and the grammar in section 3.3. The ( ("+" / "-") 4DIGIT ) production in the grammar in section 5.1 is looking inside a single token, not looking at two tokens.

I agree.

I think now I agree too. Unless someone can come up with a better explanation, consider this fixed.
