***SPAM***] Public Key Quotes

I noticed when looking at the public keys generated by opendkim-genkey that
it's creating two sets of quotes, like so:

default._domainkey IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; "

"p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDidoehaYkd35DIAvaobs10XM4Kp5Fc95FsCRaqjf9YraSrGeEYFLy3GFiIUa6tIhvO0JblZ04N0ZAfChnfeNNRTWuo7GT+YYPPHXqXlwS1/w/h+W8T5tbt0Ln8XrmDN2DlfQc3qrnXGhdIqc4DnKe3jbAfyIMXEzI0IYuu0+OoCwIDAQAB"
) ;

For ease of copying and pasting the TXT entry into a web-based zone file
form, is there any reason to not remove two of the quotes so that the file
contents read:

default._domainkey IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; k=rsa;
p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDidoehaYkd35DIAvaobs10XM4Kp5Fc95FsCRaqjf9YraSrGeEYFLy3GFiIUa6tIhvO0JblZ04N0ZAfChnfeNNRTWuo7GT+YYPPHXqXlwS1/w/h+W8T5tbt0Ln8XrmDN2DlfQc3qrnXGhdIqc4DnKe3jbAfyIMXEzI0IYuu0+OoCwIDAQAB"
) ;

??

Or would that violate the spec somehow?

The latter is how I personally have my DNS records set up, and they seem to
verify fine.

Thx,

P.S. Fedora 21 was released today. I've already upgraded and am building
OpenDKIM 2.10 on there with no issue. :)
