Nahh.  Its quite clear, and further, it also makes sense.

   The following table indicates limits on the number of times each
   field may occur in a message header as well as any special
   limitations on the use of those fields.  An asterisk next to a
   value in the minimum or maximum column indicates that a special
   restriction appears in the Notes column.

See above.

BTW: Have you checked Mutt's behaviour yet?  Could/would someone
check Outlook's behaviour?
