In my experience, whitespace make the automated parsing harder.  But
if no one else sees this as a problem, I won't object.

Well, the text says ``guidelines'', not ``requirements''.  Also, do we
really expect the reader of those to be fluent with the conventions of
MIL-STD-489 and its ilk?  If not, ``shall'' sounds bad English in this
context, IMHO.

Otherwise, fine with me, thanks.
