ABNF nits [updated for draft -04]:

flowed-body      = * ( paragraph / fixed-line / sig-sep )

I don't think ABNF permits whitespace between a repeat and what's being repeated:

        repetition    =  [repeat] element

        repeat        =  1*DIGIT / (*DIGIT "*" *DIGIT)

        element        =  rulename / group / option /
                          char-val / num-val / prose-val


non-sp-quote    = < any character except NUL, CR, LF, SP, ">" >

This is not a valid prose-val, since it contains a ">" inside:

        prose-val      =  "<" *(%x20-3D / %x3F-7E) ">" 

non-sp-quote might be better written as *(%x01-09 / %x0b / %x0c / %x0e-1f / %x21-3d / %x3f-7e) with a comment with the prose, since it is actually exactly representable in ABNF and that's presumably preferable.

flowed-line-unqt = stuffed-flowed / unstuffed-flowed ) flow CRLF

This is a syntax error: should there be a matching parenthesis?

non-sp-quote    = < any character except NUL, CR, LF, SP, ">" >

This is not a valid prose-val, since it contains a ">" inside:

        prose-val      =  "<" *(%x20-3D / %x3F-7E) ">"
