Position of problem

In texinfo manual info node `(texinfo) Node Line Requirements', one can read the following:

Missing and

I think that it should read `with no leading or trailing spaces and a single internal space'.

Clarifying References

Furthermore, what References means it a bit ambiguous. I understand that it means references in the texinfo manual source code, and that it is one of the following:

  • a @ref, @xref, or @pxref
  • a menu entry

Making a separate item

Finally, the stance about space handling, is in the same item as case sensititivity. I think it would improve the manual if a separate item.

Node title

Title speaks about "node line", but the scope of the node is wider, it is about node names in general, not only within a node line. I am not sure wether it is wise to change the node name because it may be used for reference elsewhere, but the section title should be about '@node' Line Requirements , and node naming.
