Comment(by atagar):

 Agreed that this is an ambiguity in the spec. It's more formally defined
 that the whitespace between the keyword and value can be any size...
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/dir-spec.txt#l203

 But I'm not aware of anything that specifies the spaces within a
 KeywordLine's 'ArgumentChar+'. Personally I thought that they needed to be
 single spaces too, and vote for this being malformed data on tor's part.

 As for stem, this shouldn't effect us due to how split() works...

 {{{
 >>> value = "free  EB2798A84E9D962DF13C61FA055C2513DDDAF800"
 >>> value.split()
 ['free', 'EB2798A84E9D962DF13C61FA055C2513DDDAF800']
 }}}
