https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27508

            Bug ID: 27508
           Summary: parse-ietf-date grammar inconsistent with prose
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Functions and Operators 3.1
          Assignee: mike@saxonica.com

The grammar for parse-ietf-date has

S ::=     x09 | x0A | x0D | x20

but the prose (in a Note) says, the function... Accepts one or more whitespace
characters (x20, x09, x0A, x0D) wherever a single space is required, and allows
whitespace to be omitted where it is not required for parsing

Probably it would be clearer to use

S ::=     ( x09 | x0A | x0D | x20 )+
