The user-agent string example begins and ends with delimiters (the forward slash or /) that have no use to humans or computers and therefore should be eliminated. Eliminating these superfluous delimiters will slightly decreased the data size transmitted to peers, stored when consuming API messages and make the UI look better. So far, no one has been able to explain the benefit of the leading and trailing forwards slashes except that it is specified in this BIP. Please see this pull request: bitcoin/bitcoin#7640
