I am of the opinion to completely strike the disclaimer about first-line leading whitespace.
I don't dislike Travis' proposal of the not leading first-line whitespace and since it is not mandatory ...
The main trouble is that if it's not mandatory, it is of no real use to assist software in determining the file type, and thus doesn't really need to exist. What do others think?
If it stays, the phrase "character encoding" needs to change to "determining whether the file is an LDraw file."
