Do file system names and mount points with whitespaces violate the
specification of fstab? If so, the least thing I'd suggest is the document
this restriction.

Or should one extend 'getfsent' such that is able to cope with those
whitespaces? I am not sure whether this would have any further
implications so I am asking here.

Formal standards tend to avoid "system administration" issues such as this. I doubt you would be violating any published standard.

I say go for it.  If something else breaks because
of this change, let's fix that, too.  I like the fact
that FreeBSD works pretty well with other systems; lets
keep pushing that.
