+ in syslog.conf is a FreeBSD extension, NetBSD picked it up with some other changes (including poll and signals -> kqueue/kevent) Neither OpenBSD nor the Linux version I just checked support +; all the non-OpenBSD versions support the "allow spaces instead of tabs" extension, presumably for the benefit of people who can't read manuals (though how they'll deal with things like differing use of ! if they can't handle tabs, who knows...)
