In an OpenPGP-aware mail client, that is the decision of the
developer. For example, is there any huge reason why it would be a bad
idea to treat <dash><space><dash><dash><newline> the same as they
treat <dash><dash><space><newline>?

In my opinion, one of the strengths of Inline is that you _don't_ need
a mail client to interpret it: the message can be pasted into a text
file or a command window.
