I'm not sure what I'm seeing is what you're seeing. Let's talk before
asking you to type :-)

I'm looking at the bottom of page 29, top of page 30, in the HTML version.
That's for

   o  Specify checksum coverage used by the sender
      Protocols: UDP-Lite

What I'm seeing in HTML for this section, is

   o  Specify checksum coverage used by the sender
      Protocols: UDP-Lite
      Functional because application-specific knowledge is necessary to
      decide for which parts of the data it can be acceptable to lose
      data integrity.

Internet-Draft         Minimal Transport Services            August 2018


      Implementation: via SET_CHECKSUM_COVERAGE.UDP-Lite.
      Implementation over TCP: do nothing (TCP does not offer to limit
      the checksum length, but transmitting data with an intact checksum
      will not yield a semantically wrong result).  Implementation over

So, I'm not seeing a newline before "Implementation" here.

      UDP: if checksum coverage is set to cover payload data, do
      nothing.  Else, either do nothing (transmitting data with an
      intact checksum will not yield a semantically wrong result), or
      use the transport feature "Disable checksum when sending".

But since I always use the HTML version, and that's not even the canonical
version, I checked the same thing in the TXT version, but it also looks
like

   o  Specify checksum coverage used by the sender
      Protocols: UDP-Lite
      Functional because application-specific knowledge is necessary to
      decide for which parts of the data it can be acceptable to lose
      data integrity.

      Implementation over TCP: do nothing (TCP does not offer to limit
      the checksum length, but transmitting data with an intact checksum

and I'm not seeing a newline before "Implementation" here, either.

      UDP: if checksum coverage is set to cover payload data, do
      nothing.  Else, either do nothing (transmitting data with an
      intact checksum will not yield a semantically wrong result), or
      use the transport feature "Disable checksum when sending".

So I should probably ask what format you're looking at, if you're not
seeing what I'm seeing?

Thanks for chasing this nit with me, by the way.
