--- Comment #1 from Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek at in.waw.pl> ---
I can confirm that we will write strings with whitespace, which are then
silently ignored by X. The syntax for the option string doesn't seem to be
explictly documented anywhere though. I guess we might want to simply reject
options with whitespace, which would probably catch many simple errors.

A more ambitious option would be to try to actually verify the option string.
In principle 'localectl list-x11-keymap-options' lists the options and we could
split at commas and verify that the options are in that list... I have no idea
how robust this check would be, i.e. how often X would actually accept options
not on this list. I'm not sure if we want to open this can of worms.
