It does. And it's consistent with the examples posted:

It may, however, lead to some unfortunate line breaks when the
"leader" is white space. Instead of this:
|For a moment, nothing happend. |
|Then, after a second or so, |
|nothing continued to happen. |
| Douglas Adams|
one would get this:
|For a moment, nothing happend. |
|Then, after a second or so, |
|nothing continued to |
|happen. Douglas Adams|
We could make an exception for white-space-only leaders. That would
probabbly be what most authors would want. Hmm.
