What is the meaning of BINARY[]?

I think that it should be a syntax error, but unfortunately the section-binary rule in RFC 3516 is: section-binary = "[" [section-part] "]" instead of: section-binary = "[" section-part "]" I consider this to be a bug in RFC 3516. If it intended to make BINARY[] valid, it should have used the RFC 3501 "section" rule.

Fetching BINARY[..] for message/rfc822 body part has the same problem.


As does MULTIPART/...anything...

Do you have any suggestions on what to do about this, other than defaulting to BODY[..] behavior?
