Good catch.

In these particular cases, is the space adding anything? Would a simpler
fix be to just use:
...the value on `URL:` line
We've had such headaches with other entities like {sp} between different
asciidoc versions (not to mention asciidoctor) that I tend to reach for
the simplest solution.
(I'd also suggest the minor English correct of saying "_the_ URL line";
that's orthogonal to what you're trying to fix, but may make sense on
top while we're here).
