I was going to say that can't possibly be true, but it's true, there's no
ABNF for the header.  So, for example, I don't know whether the v= field
has to come first.  Send an erratum, we'll probably accept it as hold for
update.


"v=1" doesn't have to come first.  It just usually does.  I think there was
a version of RFC4871 that did that, but then when challenged we couldn't
come up with a good reason to keep it that way.
