Usage examples - line continuation with whitespace?

The section "Usage examples" shows line continuation of the description field on the test line by starting a new line beginning with whitespace:

not ok 2 - First line of the input valid.
    More output from test 2. There can be
    arbitrary number of lines for any output
    so long as there is at least some kind
    of whitespace at beginning of line.

However, I do not see this mentioned anywhere in the TAP specification (looking at the current version, TAP version 13 specification). Is this really valid? Is it just a feature of Test::Harness or another producer/consumer of TAP? Should this example be removed or updated to show standard-compliant TAP output? - Colinb (talk) 16:07, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
