Quick DOCTYPE Declaration Question

I've just noticed that most folks on this list display !DOCTYPE like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Does it matter if the URI for the DTD is on the second line or this whole
tag is on one line, or do people just separate them for code readability?
Please forgive this little question, I'm still relatively new to the
intricacies of making sure I'm writing standards-compliant code!
