That looks mostly right except I think you moved a bit too much. > - Many fields' values may span several lines; in this case > - each continuation line must start with a space or a tab. > - Any trailing spaces or tabs at the end of individual > - lines of a field value are ignored. > + According to the types defined below, fields values may be > + contained in a logical line that spans several lines.

Multiline fields aren't a single logical line that spans several lines. They have a value that consists of several lines, both real and logical. Only folded fields consist of a single logical line that spans multiple lines. The other two sentences are fine here. > + <tag>folded</tag> > + <item> > + The value of a folded field is a logical line that may span > + several lines.
