Yup. Somehow I stripped trailing spaces off of lines. I think my
editor was being a bit too "helpful". I'll try to watch that.
Although, maybe we should clean up trailing spaces in READMEs?:

I think the same could be said for many of the README files. In
particular, some of them don't seem to have fully adjusted to being
fact, rather than proposal. I'll add it to my list of things to
consider working on.
