#### Whitespace best practices

Specdev currently has: [https://deploy-preview-77--bp-i18n-specdev.netlify.app/#char\_whitespace](https://deploy-preview-77--bp-i18n-specdev.netlify.app/#char_whitespace)

But this recommends 3 approaches, only 2 of which make it to the mustard, and it's still not clear which to use when.

Other questions include:

- do we really want to recommend the use of the `Z` property, especially given that it doesn't include obvious ASCII whitespace characters? Where did this recommendation come from?
- why are RLM and LRM included as whitespace in some definitions, but not RLI, LRI, PDI, etc.?

### BE PREPARED

Read the string-meta ECMA-402 explainer: <https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss/blob/gh-pages/explainers/string-meta-explainer-402.md>
Also read string-meta. Review text about `auto`.
