I do not know of other areas, but at least within the SIP set of
documents in the RAI area, we have a convention: SIP header field
values can be folded onto multiple lines if the continuation line
begins with a LWS.  This includes URIs as well; i.e., a SIP URI
may continue on the next line if the continuation line starts
with a LWS.

Now, I am not sure what the general behavior of URIs is with
respect to line folding; at least rfc3986 (URI: Generic Syntax)
appears to be silent on this topic (a quick search of "folding",
"LWS", "continuation" does not yeild anything in that RFC.)  Maybe
someone from the Apps area can help.

Thanks,
