Gordon already answered it - see section 4.2.1 under "field-value".

However.

The 0-9-1 spec changed at the last minute in this regard for unclear 
reasons. So RabbitMQ does not actually implement what's in the spec - I 
suspect no-one does. See

http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-errata.html#section_3

for what we actually implement.

Cheers, Simon
