One thing not defined in init(5) is the job description file's character
set and/or encoding.

I suppose it's ASCII, but e.g. if it's UTF-8 (would be nice for
descriptions, authors, etc.) you probably want to explain more
accurately what "whitespace" means (UTF-8 has more than 1 "space"
character, so you probably want to restrict it to the ASCII subset
"space").
