/**
 * One element of an HTTP {@link Header header} value consisting of
 * a name / value pair and a number of optional name / value parameters.
 * 
 * Some HTTP headers (such as the set-cookie header) have values that
 * can be decomposed into multiple elements.  Such headers must be in the
 * following form:
 * 
 *  * header  = [ element ] *( "," [ element ] )
 * element = name [ "=" [ value ] ] *( ";" [ param ] )
 * param   = name [ "=" [ value ] ]
 *
 * name    = token
 * value   = ( token | quoted-string )
 *
 * token         = 1*<any char except "=", ",", ";", <"> and
 *                       white space>
 * quoted-string = <"> *( text | quoted-char ) <">
 * text          = any char except <">
 * quoted-char   = "\" char
 * 
 * 
 * Any amount of white space is allowed between any part of the
 * header, element or param and is ignored. A missing value in any
 * element or param will be stored as the empty {@link String};
 * if the "=" is also missing null will be stored instead.
