I think so, too.  Furthermore, there are two similar ones:

(defun rfc2045-encode-string (param value)
  "Return and PARAM=VALUE string encoded according to RFC2045."

(defun rfc2047-encode-parameter (param value)
  "Return and PARAM=VALUE string encoded in the RFC2047-like style.

Lars wrote rfc2231- and rfc2045- 18 years ago, and rfc2047- is
what I made 13 years ago following in Lars' footsteps.
All those are typo errors, aren't they? ;-)
