Space-separated vs Tag-separated list parsing

[martin hill]

As I understand it, when a schema is not available, or is not applicable, or the
parser doesn't refer to it for whatever reason,  the parser *should* (indeed,
*must*) read space-separated lists as a single string.  It's up to you then to
do your own tokenizing.
