 i've removed the new lines now.
 > If a parser uses the Values exactly as they're in the examples, the
 headers don't match with the lines. Maybe i could just put them in
 different subsections so that it is a bit more clear that they don't
 match?.

 We can't split the header and the relay lines into different subsections,
 because parsers need to be able to parse the whole file.

 > If i change the number in the header to match the lines, then it would
 not be that realistic.

 Parsers should still work if the numbers in the header and relay lines do
 not match.
