[tor-dev] valid MyFamily syntax variations ('$FP=nick' ?)

Hi,

according to the spec [1] relay ops can choose between fingerprint
(with and without $ prefix) and nicknames when constructing their
MyFamily configs. The man page recommends fingerprints.

Now I'm faced with [2][3] families that use a combination:
$fp=nick

Are they actually valid or is this a bug or can one actually specify
arbitrary strings there?
(dir auths and onionoo apparently accept them)

thanks
