Starting 16 hours ago, a relay started publishing the following extra-info
descriptor that makes metrics-lib choke:
{{{
extra-info free EB2798A84E9D962DF13C61FA055C2513DDDAF800
published 2012-07-08 13:36:56

}}}
metrics-lib would expect a single SP between nickname and fingerprint,
which is the default for most descriptor lines. I'm not entirely certain
that dir-spec.txt doesn't allow two SP though:
{{{
"extra-info" Nickname Fingerprint NL
}}}
The space between Nickname and Fingerprint could be interpreted as SP
(which is what I did in many places that didn't have an explicit
definition of SP), or it could be considered WS which is defined as `WS =
(SP | TAB)+`.
So, should the directory authorities reject this descriptor for being
malformed? Or should metrics-lib (and stem) interpret multiple SP as well
as any combination of SP and TAB as keyword separator whenever there's no
explicit definition in dir-spec.txt?
