updates the ABNF specifications found in RFCs 2088, 2342, 3501, 3502
and 3516. It also includes part of the errata to RFC 3501.

                  search-program

search-program     = [SP "CHARSET" SP charset] 1*(SP search-key)
                     ;; CHARSET argument to SEARCH MUST be
                     ;; registered with IANA.

NEW:
