Hi Ulrich, I suggest rejecting this errata.
First, changing PRINTASCII to %d32-126 would allow SP characters in HOSTNAME, APP-NAME, PROCID, and MSGID, which goes against conventions. That can be corrected in the aBNF, but it would then get messy to "except SP" from each of those.
Second, iirc it was discussed in the WG and we wanted to keep it there for emphasis. This is depicted several times in the examples. While this discussion occurred after the RFC was published, I believe it reflects the consensus of the WG while the document was an ID under discussion:
