If anyone wonders, the reason for this is that the LABELs are identifiers 
that can be entered on the command prompt and appened with additional 
parameters. (kernel boot parameters and the like)

If LABEL would allow for spaces, it could lead to ambiguous 
situations. Maybe the parser could show some errors and errors could pause 
a bit (so that people see something is wrong before the menus pop up).

Kind regards,
