Let's move away from talking about alignment for a minute. The reason I responded originally was that his proposal is a bit vague. It says that whitespace separates fields; that could be spaces or tabs. whitespace can also be a completely valid character in the notes field. So, since he says we can add more fields in the future, you either have to escape whitespace in the notes field or quote the field. Also, he may have used one whitespace character to separate fields in his example, but the spec allows any number of whitespace characters. William
