Description

This issue documents Roku's unique handling of manifest parsing.

  • manifest keys include leading, internal, and trailing spaces
  • manifest values include leading, internal, and trailing spaces
  • an empty manifest key is valid. (i.e. =i_have_an_empty_key)

Eventually we should handle these properly
