Comment (by atagar):

 > It seems that Tor long names (as produced by format_node_description())
 allow spaces in them

 Tor might, but the spec doesn't. From the controlspec...

 {{{
 LongName   = Fingerprint [ ( "=" / "~" ) Nickname ]

 Fingerprint = "$" 40*HEXDIG
 NicknameChar = "a"-"z" / "A"-"Z" / "0" - "9"
 Nickname = 1*19 NicknameChar
 }}}

 Indeed, things would be pretty tricky to parse if spaces were allowed.
