They should just make their tag part of the header, by visually
separating it with a blank line containing white space.  They also
need to have the line before the white space be a legal header
starter.  For example, with "_" standing in for a space:

RFC822 states clearer that a totally blank line, that is no characters
between a pair of CR/LFs, separate the header from the text.
