It's not entirely language independent. At least French does not follow those rules. French typography rules use a narrow non-break space before colon, semi-colon, question mark and exclamation mark.
There is an easy rule of thumb to remember where to put a space in French: all punctuation characters that require to raise the pen to draw them (? ! ; : %) require a space before them. All punctuation characters that do not require to raise the pen to draw them should not have a space before them (dot, comma). But even if it's a common Java rule, it does not have to be enabled for French so that would be fine. Regards Dominique R.J.
