Hi,
RFC 2234 (ABNF) has been superseded by an IESG approved I-D
(not yet published in a new RFC).
This affects WIMS and essentially all other PWG protocol specs.
Cheers,
- Ira

>> The IESG contact person is Scott Hollenbeck.
>> Technical Summary
>> Internet technical specifications often need to define a format
> syntax. Over the years a modified version of Backus-Naur Form (BNF),
> called Augmented BNF (ABNF), has been popular among many Internet
> specifications. The current specification documents ABNF. It
> balances compactness and simplicity, with reasonable representational
> power. The differences between standard BNF and ABNF involve naming
> rules, repetition, alternatives, order-independence, and value
> ranges. This specification also supplies additional rule definitions
> and encoding for a core lexical analyzer of the type common to
> several Internet specifications.
>> This document obsoletes RFC 2234.
>> Working Group Summary
>> This document is the work of individual submitters. It was produced
> to address comments received from the IESG when the IESG was asked
> to elevate RFC 2234 to Draft Standard status. An IETF last call on
> the request to elevate RFC 2234 was completed in June 2004.
>> Protocol Quality
>> Harald Alvestrand, Bill Fenner, and Scott Hollenbeck evaluated this
> specification for the IESG.
