We should add the standard disclaimer “(with line breaks within values for 
display purposes only)” to the description of the example.

    The spec claims the following:

       "Note that since these strings contain base64 encoded
       (not base64url encoded) values, they are allowed to contain
       white space and line breaks."

    Is this really JSON compliant?

    I didn't interpret the JSON spec in that way and Python and Chrome seems to 
agree with me.

    What's I'm missing here?


Are you seriously suggesting that JSON strings can't contain white space?

Control characters have to be escaped, but they can definitely be there.

JSON.parse('["this is...\\u000A...a string"]')

Sure, but the example in appendix B wouldn't parse.
Shouldn't a proper text say that possible line-breaks MUST be properly escaped.

​Line breaks in JSON do have to be escaped, either as above or with \r \n. This 
is clear at www.json.org<http://www.json.org>.
