Uh, no. <ZWNBSP, SPACE, ZWNBSP> is equivalent to <NBSP>. In either case, the SPACE or the NBSP would be (potentially) subject to justification which would change their width. The argument was about how (or whether) to constrain the space between "Louis" and "XIV" to a *fixed* width under certain assumptions about justification. To do that, you would need to use a *fixed*-width space as a starting point (and then hope that the justification algorithm used for rendering doesn't ignore or override your choice, anyway). --Ken
