Thanks for the report.

I found that you could avoid a space by using the inline formatting
commands, e.g.:

address@hidden,address@hidden,bar}baz

produces the text "foobarbaz" with TeX.

The manual notes, in node (texinfo)Raw Formatter Commands, that "The
behavior of newlines in raw regions is unspecified."

Any thoughts which one is the best? I'd expect it to be more common
for the space to be wanted than unwanted.
