header-value = 1*(%x01-0C %x0E-7F) 

That looks wrong to me. Probably should be 1*(%x01-0C|%x0E-7F)

If I'm remembering my ABNF correctly, your's says you must have a character 
in the range 01-0C followed by a character in the range 0E-7F. And, 1 or more 
repetitions of that. I think you more likely meant to imply "any character 
except CR LF" which means you need an | in there rather than a space. 

Also, why did you choose CR as the end of line character? If you want to 
choose a single character end of line, LF is much more common than CR. I'd go 
with either LF or CRLF, not CR.
