I think you are reading ABNF wrong. <a>*<b>element means at least <a> times and at most <b> times occurrences of element. Exact number of repetition is written as <n>element (which is a short-and for <n>*<n>element). See the definition of "hour" and friends a few lines below what you quoted. It is defined as "2DIGIT / obs-hour" and that is why we say "01:23:45" not "1:23:45" - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
