Let's move away from talking about alignment for a minute. |

The reason I responded originally was that his proposal is a bit |
14 |
vague. It says that whitespace separates fields; that could be spaces |
15 |
or tabs. whitespace can also be a completely valid character in |
16 |
the notes field. So, since he says we can add more fields in the future, |
17 |
you either have to escape whitespace in the notes field or quote the |
18 |
field. |

Also, he may have used one whitespace character to separate fields in his |
21 |
example, but the spec allows any number of whitespace characters. |
