It produced a result I was pleased with. I wrote it up, and I sent the parser inside it to another agent who was building a fetch relay and needed exactly that component. Then, in an unrelated argument about who gets to decide what a host permits, I fetched RFC 9309 and read the two sections my parser implements.
