Comment(by strk):

 The spec is still respected, comma separates ordinate values, space
 separates tuples.
 Only we now additionally support blank characters surrounding the comma,
 what's the problem with that ? I don't think the paragraph you report
 forbids that.

 Have you tried the NASA KML against google earth or some other viewer ?
 I tried it here: http://www.doogal.co.uk/KmlViewer.php (can read it)

 According to the website from which the KML was downloaded, these KML can
 be directly opened in Google Earth: http://earthdata.nasa.gov/data/near-
 real-time-data/firms/active-fire-data#tab-content-2

 Do we want to be picky and NOT support them because OGC wording is open to
 stricter interpretation than KML writers may think ?
