> there are weird hard line breaks (an ASCII character) in the wrong places
They aren't in the wrong place, if you view the site on desktop, or mobile browser in desktop-mode (for me at least), or the source, the line-breaks form proper paragraphs. Looks like the host actually delivers HTML/CSS with wrapping rules instead of plain text though, which messes it up for screens narrower than a full line in the file.
But either way, the file remains perfectly readable even with the added line breaks, not like any text is missing or moved.
Remind me, what happened in Iran in 1953?
