 At the beginning of dir-spec.txt §2.1 (‘Router descriptor format’):
 {{{
    Router descriptors consist of the following items.  For backward
    compatibility, there should be an extra NL at the end of each router
    descriptor.
 }}}

 There is no mention of what this is meant to provide backward
 compatibility with.
