That being said, I'm not happy with
extension-param = token [ "=" token ]
In HTTP header fields, parameters usually support both token and
quoted-string form.
Right.
Making this special means that existing header field parser code can't be
easily re-used.
Well, not exaclty as any parser supporting tokens and quoted-strings
would also parse "just" tokens :)
But if they *are* re-used, those recipients will accept quoted-strings
as well (thus accepting invalid header fields). This could be harmless,
or it could cause them to be used in practice, forcing other recipients
to accept them as well.
