Subject: [sip-clf] Tabs as field separators in ascii

I propose we do away with using TABs as field separators, and go back to a space.

The reason is TABs don't survive Telnet or web pages very well.  For example, if you go copy/paste the current example in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-salgueiro-sipclf-indexed-ascii-02 from the website, you will be pasting spaces, not tabs.  And if you do a tail/show/display type command through Telnet to your SIP system, the copy/paste from that may well end up being spaces not tabs (depending on how your system produces the display output to telnet, and your telnet client).  I hit that problem a lot in my day job.
