The presence of white space is significant, not whether the whitespace
is "<linebreak>" or "<linebreak> + <space>" or even "<space>". You
asked me if there was any difference between "<linebreak>" or
"<linebreak> + <space>" and there isn't.
And before you ask for named to be made to work with a base64 key
broken up arbitarially how many rendevous servers are there in this
example?

The examples can not be cut-and-pasted. They need to have the
public key turned into a single string first.
