Vocabulary: To avoid confusion by implementers in interpreting the
spec, I suggest coming up with a descriptive  term other than "white
space."  "White space" is an understood term that encompasses more
than space and tab and in Unicode varies by locale. See e.g., short
discussion at <http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/lib/pods/perlrecharclass.html#white_space>,
'
Perhaps use "space or tab" instead?
