Consistency is a good thing anyway. Examples unrelated to basic CSS syntax are probably not a quite appropriate place for reader to learn such basic things.

Also, having a space between a property and its value makes text more easily readable and makes it possible for text to wrap. Moreover, in conjunction with the `hyphens: auto` style used in the spec's CSS, "display:none" text is rendered as "dis-play:none" (note the fictious and confusing hyphen after "dis") (fwiw, in Firefox under Windows at zoom of 200% using a 4K monitor) e.g. in the "6. Grid Items" section of the Grid spec while with a space, "display:" and "none" would just be placed on different lines without any hyphenation. (Btw, I believe hyphenation should be disabled for code at all to prevent confusion.)
