Proposal:

Hide

Use the same interpretation as RFC7230 for BWS and state this in ABNF Construction Rules:

The BWS rule is used where the grammar allows optional whitespace
only for historical reasons. A sender MUST NOT generate BWS in
messages. A recipient MUST parse for such bad whitespace and remove
it before interpreting the protocol element.

Repair examples in URL Conventions.

The space before Country is not permitted by the ABNF construction rules.

(Or else, my interpretation of "BWS" is wrong)
