I was recently explaining expr to someone and told him that the spaces between the arguments in the expression didn't matter--meaning there can be white space like this:

It seems to work both ways, but I can't see any definitive statement on spaces in expr.

Does anyone know if the spaces or lack thereof ever become an issue?

you can think of the whole expression as a symbol, which is parsed and interpreted inside.

i find this very handy, because you can use spaces only where you want them for better readabilty:
