If we go for spaces we might as well just write a CSS rule for u+u,
which I think is cleaner. It would also be more consistent, in the
sense that if we are going to use spaces between proper nouns we might
as well mark all word boundaries with spaces, but that's not the usual
way we write Chinese. (Personally I'm very disappointed that u got
deprecated as "visual formatting", since for us it is semantic markup.
But that'd be OT.)
