Issue

Came up in #conduit:fachschaften.org; It's not clear that the parameters after X-Matrix can use quotes or not, RFC2184 was mentioned with the following quote:

Note that quotes around parameter values are part of the value
syntax; they are NOT part of the value itself. Furthermore, it is
explicitly permitted to have a mixture of quoted and unquoted
continuation fields.

Maybe this clarification can be added as an informational footnote.
