Clarify spaces in parameters #443

Description

@atlauren

Do parameters support spaces around the =?
parameter "foo"="bar"
parameter "bar" = "foo"

The developer documentation uses both. Is one more "safe" than the other? Is one "will work" and the other "probably works"?

Parameters are supported inside prefetch blocks. Does this use change the guidance on spaces? Does indenting of lines impact the results?

(This customer site has used spaces in parameters since always, seemingly without negative impact.)
