Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] full-width spaces not covered in the collapsible/preserved space definition (#4267)

Ok, thanks for the clarification of these important terms. So now, lets see if I understand correctly the implications for some other properties and values.

1- I find a bit confusing that the definition of the different values of the white-space property uses only the term "space" or "white space", which may imply that the property doesn't affect to the "other space separator" characters. However, there are explicit mentions to these group of characters in the White Space Processing Details Section (Phase II). 

2- Since the "other space separators" (eg, ideographic spaces) are not [preserved white spaces](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#preserved-white-space) how these spaces affect to the intrinsic size of the box ?

> In general, preserved white space is measured when calculating the intrinsic sizes (min-content size and max-content size) of text; however preserved white space that would hang when at the end of the line (i.e. that preserved by pre-wrap) is excluded. 

If I understood it correctly, the statement above doesn't apply to "other space separators" at all. Is this correct ?
