You can't use it in audit records or SO_PEERSEC if you
put whitespace in it.

Agreed. Will make the change.

It requires that all the necessary data be supplied, and in the
correct order. Once it has it, it stops. There could be a check that
there isn't anything beyond the last entry. I'm not worried about
that.

Ah, you miss the nuance of the code. NULL is an acceptance condition,
not a rejection as it would be in most cases.
