Slight change

Hello,

I have put together initial "imgCIF / CBF" web pages, and I hope that
these will soon be accessible to the world, but this is not yet the
case. The current version of the draft CBF definition will be available
from the web.


I'd like to make a change to the proposal to make it easier to parse a 
CBF i.e.


   All CBF identifiers start at the very start of a "line".

   (The file identifier is at the very start of the file (as before),
   and all other identifiers follow immediately after a carriage return
   line-feed pairs.)


In particular the paragraph:

    The "start of binary identifier" must be separated from all other
    identifiers by white space. Usually the "line separator" will
    immediately precede the "start of binary identifier", but blank
    spaces are also allowed.

Will be changed to:

    A "line separator" immediately precedes the "start of binary 
    identifier", but blank spaces may be added prior to the preceding 
    "line separator" if desired (e.g. to force word or block alignment).

Unless there are protests the second version will appear in the web
page document.

Regards,

       Andy
