Re: [webfinger] feedback for multiple "rel"

Spaces in rel values are already illegal.. specifically, spaces are
disallowed in registered link relations and non-escaped spaces are
disallowed in absolute IRI's.. A comma delimited list of rel's is better
than multiple individual parameters.. even with the potential need for
double encoding.
