Blank lines are permitted in the robots.txt file, just not within

a single "record". Note that the specification doesn't define

record.

<P>Further down the page, the specification reads, "There must

be exactly one "User-agent" field per record."

In fact, there can be more than one User-Agent field
|
|
in the robots.txt file, just not more than one per record.
