When you search for "blank" on Wikipedia, you will find some
disambiguation pages (a.o https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_space),
and finally end up on :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(punctuation)
So space is correct.

Hi,
A year or 2 ago I asked the same question and then no-one objected to ref and
nat_ref without space and int_ref with a space.

Thanks, Jo, you are looking on from a little distance, that is always
helpful to get consensus...
I agree with your "the key to create such a blank is commonly known as
the space bar" - which only confirms how subtle the English language
really is. And that is precisely what makes me contest
The ASCII standard RFC 20 describes character 32 as "Space (Normally
Non-Printing)". Nothing wrong with shortening that to "space" according to
me.

Karel, you are probably right, but the key to create such a blank is
commonly known as the space bar.
I would also remove the 'empty character' (Leerzeichen) here in Belgium.
In France it's consistently with a space, I guess they find it like that on

It's not – typography of road references is. Typography is distinct from
language in general.

Excuse me for being pecky on language - for this once I feel free
because language is (more or less) the subject matter anyway.
Where @jakka writes "space", and @ruben neatly follows suit, I think the
actual meaning is "blank".
nl "spatie" => en "blank"
en "space" => nl "ruimte"
