"man services" will give you additional information about the format of
that file. Both, spaces and tabs can be used as field separators.
sm01@stt008:~$ grep -e sgi -e vbox /etc/services
sgi-cmsd 17001/udp # Cluster membership services daemon
sgi-crsd 17002/udp
sgi-gcd 17003/udp # SGI Group membership daemon
sgi-cad 17004/tcp # Cluster Admin daemon
vboxd 20012/tcp # voice box system
vboxd 20012/udp
Beyond that, like in the above example, are just aesthetic issues, I'd say
(the first line uses two tabs instead three).
