Subject: [MMUSIC] Recursive definition in "Absolute Time" in RTSP

When I read the grammar for the absolute time format in RTSP both in RFC
2326 and in draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis-05.txt I stumbled across a
recursive definition. In both documents you can find this text:

utc-time = utc-date "T" utc-time "Z"
utc-date = 8DIGIT ; < YYYYMMDD >
utc-time = 6DIGIT [ "." fraction ] ; < HHMMSS.fraction >

Which gives two definitions for utc-time of which the first happens to
be recursive. Fixing this only involves changing the name of one of the
definitions, but have two definitions for utc-time can lead to some
confusion.
