Why space separated?

Its already legal to specify the field multiple times, and it should
work better that way for consistency with things that can already parse
XML.

That way there's no need to put an additional parser inside our XML
extraction.

<remote-id type="debian">libfoo</remote-id>
<remote-id type="debian">libfoo-debug</remote-id>

No?

It also means general purpose XML formatting tools can keep it tidy,
_and_ sorted, without having to reinvent new tools.
