Ugh! The parser should look for a line with no ":"?!? I think saying what
it* should* look for to delimit the body, like Dirk's suggestion of "//",
is much cleaner. BTW, I strongly think we should not invent a "Body:"
heading for this URL, in case anyone wanted to...

I see two issues with the syntax so far:
- where to put the headers and how to specify them
- how to specify multiple lines

These are separate issues, in my mind.
