Because spaces in these fields are not completely obvious in the
configuration dialogs.  For example, it is not clear if there is one
space, or perhaps two spaces, and in the situation that I had, I did
not notice the space at all until I copied the field and pasted into a
fixed font text editor.

I would think that if spaces are desired as part of a variable or
property name, the author would be required to put the field in
quotes.
