+      The default separators of list items in a field are space, ',', and tabulator
+      characters. Thus conveniently if spaces are put at the beginning and the end of
+      the fields they are ignored. However if the list separator is changed with the
+      <emphasis>listsep</emphasis> option, the spaces will become part of the actual
+      item and the line will be most probably ignored. For this reason, it is not
+      recommended to put spaces around the ':' characters.
