Ignoring the extremely huge number of applications assuming this role to
spaces, is then a critical caveat as such rules cannot be changed
easily.
Philippe or anyone else, would it be "XML-safe" to use NBSP rather than
SP as the base character for spacing diacritics in XML? Perhaps that's
the answer here. I know there are still some issues of detail concerning
the line breaking, but apart from that is there any other problem?
