Andrew Kennedy commented on QPID-2539:
--------------------------------------

RA: Is this to improve readability? I am not sure what exactly the benefit 
here? 

ADK: The whitespace and continuation definitions are to both improve 
readability and to make parsing simpler. I could easily restict whitespace back 
to the old set, but see no problem with extending it as longas it is well 
defined. As for continuation lines, if they are supported in one place, why not 
just support them everywhere, rather than the confusing (perhaps) rules about 
where exactly they can be placed. Every language that allows continuation 
characters for line breaking simply allows them anywhere and joins the two 
lines, ignoring the continuation character, I just wanted to follow the 
existing convention.
