Sounds good. Given what a space means, I'd be tempted to not have ones that
don't have a name, but instead have a NULL reference to a space for Fabrics
and Subnets that have been autodiscovered. (As you say, a space is a user
construct to aggregate subnets into logical groupings, and thus unlikely
something that could be discovered.)
