Leading or trailing white space characters in file names

Although not mandatory, it is recommended to not use leading whitespace before the linetype token on the fist line of a file. This to assist software in determining the character encoding of the file.

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 ...
