Keywords are supposed to be short, and the field name is "Keywords"
rather than "Keyword", so I don't think it's worth the hassle of
changing it. I at least clarified it to be explicitly
whitespace-separated in this version (that was previously implied by
the example, but not stated explicitly).

Cheers,
