Expand Up @@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ String quoting:
: {{Section 5.6.4 of HTTP}} allows backslash-escaping most characters in quoted strings, whereas Structured Field Strings only escape "\\" and DQUOTE. Compatibility can be improved by unescaping other characters before parsing.

Token limitations:
: In Structured Fields, tokens are required to begin with an alphabetic character or "\*", whereas HTTP tokens allow a wider range of characters. This prevents use of mapped values that begin with one of these characters. For example, media types, field names, methods, range-units, character and transfer codings that begin with a number or special character other than "*" might be valid HTTP protocol elements, but will not be able to be parsed as Structured Field Tokens.

Integer limitations:
: Structured Fields Integers can have at most 15 digits; larger values will not be able to be represented in them.
