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?

www     IN  HIP ( 2 200100107B1A74DF365639CC39F1D578
		  AwEA Abdx yhNu Sutc 5EMz xTs9 LBPC
		  IkOF H8cI vM4p 9+Lr V4e1 9WzK 00+C

		  qnWx Z48A Wksk mdHa VDP4 Bcel rTI3
		  rMXd XF5D QWER rSv1 RsV2 )

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