Not quite.


Remember, U+2007 is a non-breaking space.

Use at the end of a sentence would prevent line-breaking between sentences, unless we follow it by U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE (or some other breaking space).

Even if this were done, I wonder if most software would understand U+2007 or other non-breaking spaces as spaces for the purpose of full-justification or right-justification and hide them when they would otherwise appear at column right position.
