Done (in my local copy). Actually I thought of the same thing but wasn't sure 
for one reason or another... I should have just gone for it!

I don't see this; "Implementation over UDP" seems to start on a new line 
everywhere. What I do see is that an extra empty line has unintentionally ended 
up in there in a few places. Do you mean that there SHOULD be an extra empty 
line?  I'd find that a bit odd, unless I add empty lines all over the place. 
E.g., consider the following block:

***
   o  Indicate (and/or obtain upon completion) an Adaptation Layer via
      an adaptation code point
      Protocols: SCTP
      Functional because it allows to send extra data for the sake of
      identifying an adaptation layer, which by itself is application-
      specific.
      Implementation: via a parameter in CONNECT.SCTP.
      Implementation over TCP: not possible (TCP does not offer this
      functionality).
      Implementation over UDP: not possible (UDP does not offer this
      functionality).
***

If I add an empty line above "Implementation over UDP", then I should probably 
also add one above "Implementation over TCP", above "Implementation", above the 
line beginning with "Functional" and above "Protocols: SCTP", right?  But then 
this gets huge...

My tendency would be to remove the extra lines.

HOWEVER: it seems that the diff you're pointing at is misleading  :(   I just 
checked against my local .txt file: in one case, the extra line was added in 
the diff because, in fact, there was a new page (new pages with headers are not 
shown in the diff), and in another, I don't understand where the extra line in 
the diff comes from - my .txt doesn't have it.

Either way, my proposal would be to go for the style of the text block I copied 
above. Is that ok?

I'll do it as soon as I know what to do with line feeds!

Cheers,
