This is the same format I've always used. However, I just looked
at /etc/hosts on a system run by a friend who has years of sys-admin
experience and found it has both formats and they seem to work
equally well.
Perhaps its a matter of where and/or when one started dealing with
this sort of thing. What a given book says may depend on the authors
background as much as anything.
