Since OWS and BWS include obs-fold, that would allow generation of 1 GET / HTTP/1.1 2 Host: 3 4 www.example.com 5 6 Accept: * 7 where line 3 and 5 contain spaces. The intention seems to be to forbid line folding anywhere in the message head. CR/LF are already forbidden in request/response line(specifically mentioned in RFC 2616). What's left is 'header-field'.
