Hi Florian,

I think the intent of RFC3261 should have been to allow optional whitespace at the end of a quoted-string:

Currently in RFC 3261:
quoted-string = SWS DQUOTE *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE

Probably should have been in RFC 3261:
quoted-string = LDQUOT *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) RDQUOT

However, that is water under the bridge, so I have no objection changing the c-p-instance production to look like this:

c-p-instance = "+sip.instance" EQUAL DQUOTE "<" instance-val ">" DQUOTE

If you are responsible for an implementation however, I urge you to be generous in what you receive in this regard. Please ignore extraneous whitespace unless the spec gives it some special semantic meaning (ex: inside a quoted string).


Is this something we should put in the RFC 3261 errata and essential- corrections process?
