  There's not much to it, actually.  There are some space characters in
Unicode, and we should handle them as much Unicode-compliantly as
possible; and there are some particular typographic conventions on top
of that, for each language.  It's easy to come up with a simple scheme
to support both, and I've already outlined it on a different
mailing-list (http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2008-February/008529.html).
The problem is to decide how much of the users' old typing habits we
want to take in account (and, Olivier, another message by me in the same
thread addresses the exact same issues you were raising a few days ago:
http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2008-February/008533.html).

  I can discuss that with you at BachoTeX, Hans.  It's best done around
a beer or two, anyway ;-)
