I can confirm that this link is indeed broken.

The broken link (with the extra space) seems to have been inserted in
the XML, as https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9580.xml contains:

```
        <reference anchor="SP800-56A" target="https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/          nist.sp.800-56Ar3.pdf" quoteTitle="true" derivedAnchor="SP800-56A">
          <front>
            <title>Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key Establishment Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography</title>
            <author>
              <organization showOnFrontPage="true">NIST</organization>
            </author>
            <date year="2018" month="April"/>
          </front>
          <seriesInfo name="NIST Special Publication" value="800-56A Revision 3"/>
          <seriesInfo name="DOI" value="10.6028/NIST.SP.800-56Ar"/>
        </reference>
```

This looks like it was an attempt at a line-break (the series of spaces
is just the right width for an indented line in the pretty-printed XML.
