The most obscure case, is "only CFWS" really *NOT* obsolete ?
 
Sure, this seems pretty reasonable to do:
 
To: The Big Mailing List: (Names removed to protect the innocent);

Admittedly <group-list> is one of the constructs I've never
seen "in the wild", let alone used.  Just to be sure, CFWS
is "comment or folding white space", and a <group-list>
can be one or more spaces among others, but *NOT* empty ?
IOW, is this really CFWS, and [CFWS] is not good enough ?

I refuse to tell the DKIM WG that their "SSP magic" might
have to deal with a From: The Big Mailing List: (yeah ;-)
