This specification does not use ABNF rules to define each "Field Name: Field Value" pair, as was done in earlier editions. Instead, this specification uses ABNF rules that are named according to each registered field name, wherein the rule defines the valid grammar for that field's corresponding field values (i.e., after the field value has been extracted by a generic field parser).
