May want to say 'formatted into groups of four characters separated by spaces' lest someone think they're required to put a space at the end.

So I'm currently looking into implementing the SSSS part for Nheko. For that I usually prefer to look at explicit tables, i.e. like for the key types in the current spec already. This still seems to a bit vague at times here with just examples visualizing the structure, which makes it a bit hard to declare the corresponding structs in static languages. I think this could also use some clarification around which base64 is used where, i.e. what padding and url-safe and unsafe. Those tend to be pitfalls I fall in the most, and I prefer avoiding them. :D
Otherwise I'll see, how far I can get from the current text and I may have some more targeted feedback in the future. I think this could also be a good way to explore MSC2618, since Soru also wrote a (maybe not 100% complete) guide for this already.
