The whitespace after => is optional, as indicated by the square brackets in the syntax.

The URL is the only required part of the link line, in addition to the =>.

Ah, thanks. I need to improve my BNF reading then.

I got tripped up on the same thing. Also, there is what the specification says, and what people actually do. I documented alot of the strangeness you will find with the protocol, gemtext, and various servers:

gemini://gemi.dev/weird.gmi

Strict parsing of link lines — The spec reads All lines beginning with the two characters "=>" are link lines. but also... Link lines have the following syntax =>[][] where is any non-zero number of consecutive spaces or tabs So... is a line starting with "=>" but no following whitespace a link line or not? If not, what type of line is it?
