Actually, there are tabs not spaces except after Requires(postun):. So there 
it should be no problem to use the long version.

Anyways, there was some discussion about which URL from sf.net to use for 
source0 when the source url guidelines where written. Maybe you find there 
some information, why the short version is not as good as the long one. In 
case you don't, you can propose to allow the short version to the fedora 
packaging committee[1] to get the url added to the guidelines.
