That's irrelevant. Although it used to be an issue, since early stages of 4.x and 3.x syslog.conf in FreeBSD can work with spaces as well. (a comment in /etc/syslog.conf is not quite correct. It's a leftover that was inserted in there while the fix for syslogd was in progress) Read man pages for syslog.conf(5) for the correct information.
