IIRC, some vi's have a line length limit.
I can't use awk to interactively edit the file.

I'd actually argue that if we change this, it should be the other way, and 
each identity should be on its own line.

While the code that's there is arbitrary, why should it be changed at all? 
any UserList utilities anyone writes has to accept the presence of both 
spaces and newlines as separators due to all the existing files out there...
