Having spaces in the keys does not conflict with the 
documentation for ConfigParser; however, it is inconsistent 
with RFC 822 (which serves as a style guide):

"""The  field-name must be composed of printable ASCII 
characters  (i.e., characters that  have  values  between  
33.  and  126., decimal, except colon)."""

Still, there are valid use cases.  For instance, Windows 
style directory names are potentially useful as keys, yet 
the names allow internal spaces:

[DirectoryAttributes]
My Documents = Hide
My Pictures = Show

Jeremy, do you think multiword keys are the way to go?  If 
so, re-assign to me for implementation in Python 2.3.
