Summary: rendering.html suggested 'quotes' values lack «
spacing »
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson)

rendering.html (section 14.3.6 Quotes) currently has
:lang(en) { quotes: '\201c' '\201d' '\2018' '\2019'; } /* “ ” ‘ ’ */
:lang(fr) { quotes: '\00ab' '\00bb' '\201c' '\201d'; } /* « » “ ” */
While it's true that French uses guillemets « » for quoting, it uses them in
spaced form:
Quelqu’un fait : « Chut ! »
I'd have thought that this should mean that the value of 'quotes' for fr should
include that spacing (say as nbsp, for the sake of UAs that don't implement
tr14 line breaking), as in '\ab\a0' '\a0\bb' '\201c' '\201d' .
The [CLDR] reference given isn't very specific, so I haven't found the exact
source of the current rules. The prose of Unicode 6.0.0 (chapter 6, p190) only
says “of these languages, at least French inserts space...” (and goes on to
suggest no-break space).
