Hi Martin,

This is intentional.  Section 5.1 says:

   The first line is the following 46-character string that MAY be
   surrounded by any number of printable characters.

The rationalization here is:

  - scripts can easily center the text with equal amounts of some
    chosen character.  The script in the Appendix, which was used
    to fold examples 8.1 thru 8.4, uses '=' characters.

  - manual folding is difficult to center, and hence other framing
    is more suitable.  For instance, the example in Section 8.5.
