I suggest that the checker, rather than the instructions,
should be changed.

I have a broken Summary. See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/diabetes/faq/part1.
I use spaces for the whitespace on the beginning of the
continuation line. Do you use tabs? Perhaps the checker
and/or server only accepts spaces.
And forgive me if I'm explaining the obvious, but the way to
continue the Summary line (and most other header lines) is
to begin the second and subsequent lines with whitespace,
that is, tabs and/or spaces.

Since it definitely works, the right thing to do is not to
change the instructions, but to fix whatever condition made
it fail.
