Recent twts in reply to #ptugpdq

(#ybjlgha) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The specification just says:

Also note that a status may not contain any control characters.

Which is extremely vague, but U+0009 Horizontal Tabulation is in the C0 control code block

I’m sure 99% of twtxt parsers don’t treat additional tabs any differently. Even Buckket’s reference implementation includes additional tabs in the message. Although, in fairness, it doesn’t check for any for control codes.

Maybe we need a less ambiguous specification documenting how twtxt feeds are being written in the wild. Did you know that the comment convention is not a part of the original spec? I feel like it’s used everywhere, even among feeds that don’t use any Yarn extensions.
