    Yes you are correct, although the rpm spec format uses the section=20
declarations also. I think it was probably to avoid the problems with
multiline headers (e.g. package descriptions).  The rfc822 modules seems
to handle them as long as following lines begin with a space.  It seems a
little brittle though.
