+The schema JSON type strings in this table are the canonical serialized forms. 
Readers should accept optional whitespace around parameters and separators in 
parameterized type strings.

Review Comment:
   `iceberg-rust` was writing without space `decimal(P,S)`, 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/pull/2538 changed it to write with the 
space. 
   
   I think we should use "should" here. "must" would make accepting optional 
whitespace a hard conformance rule, while this is intended as reader-side 
compatibility for non-canonical type strings.
