I do not believe this would have helped in this case, the original problem was with not understanding Javascript number parsing, not with understanding the HTTP spec.

Also, should this note go into all seven parts?

After discussion on the mailing list, the new proposal is to rely on the ABNF, and, for consistency, remove mentions of "decimal" from the prose everywhere. See ​http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2009AprJun/0238.html.

From [576]:

Make spec consistent in not stating "decimal" when it's already clear from the ABNF (related to #161)
