If yes, then it's really worth mentioning this fact in the manual (4.6
Link abbreviations) because ones get the impression that only - and _
are allowed. One of the most strong sides of org is its readability as
raw text and in this case space makes link more readable.

I wanted to avoid `org-link-abbrev-alist' as it is Emacs specific, while
#+INCLUDE: is part of the org-mode standard which should work also on
other platforms (theoretically).

Thank you!
