[ietf-822] Wherefore no HTAB in literal text strings in ABNF

2016-08-14 20:34:50
Hello Knowledgeable ABNF Folks:

I have been working with RFC 5234 lately. What is the rationale (or what are 
the rationales) for including SP %d32 but excluding HTAB %d9 in char-val, aka 
the literal text string? I am sure that this decision was not an oversight.

It may be appreciated that the comment production is defined as WSP, which 
includes HTAB.

Regards,

Sean
