That's clearly referring to whitespace in the BNF, not whitespace in the
URI.

The context here is:

URI are often transmitted through formats that do not provide a clear
   context for their interpretation.  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.
