+ .
+ A control statement is a line starting with a dot (.). The only
+ control statement is defined by the policy is a single dot denoting
+ an empty line.
+ .
+ The "empty-line" control statement does not permit any characters
+ following it on the same line. Therefore, the entirely line must
+ consist entirely of a space followed by a dot.
