For example, there are many occasions when URI are included in plain text... In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, linebreaks, tabs, etc.) may need to be added to break long URI across lines. The whitespace should be ignored when extracting the URI. This is clearly not a general recommendation for handling of whitespace within URIs: it's a recommendation for how URIs should be extracted for example from the text of an email message.
