Surely you mean "do not follow RFC 822" here? () enclose a comment,
and an RFC 822 (or 2822, they don't differ in that respect) parser
should skip the comment rather than consider the ; to be significant.

(One has to wonder WTF they are doing parsing the Received headers
anyway, since there are so many broken ones around.)
