RFC 2616 contains this restriction for the contents of TEXT fields:

TEXT is gone in httpbis.

Therefore, I believe that for the elements using TEXT, the encoding must be 
specified as ISO-8859-1, since they are not always used in contexts where MIME 
encoding rules can be specified.

Again, the TEXT rule was only applicable while talking about octets-on-the-wire. It wasn't used to define sequences of characters. You will have to consider where the ABNF is used. Defining new protocol elements that are constrained to ISO-8859-1 definitively will be a problem.

And anyway, it's gone from the spec.
