Strict I think it is correct as is. The separator in your example is a space
so for occurring a space a new entry in the array is made.
You can after the split walk trough the array and delete the empty ones.

May be a WISH: to have a option flag in the split to do that automatic is not 
so bad idea. In my imagination to use a split for words looks nice.
