And this behavior just happens to be fulfilled by simply treating the
nonbreaking-space as non-whitespace. And since non-whitespace does not
collapse, is "protected" from collapsing. No special treatment
was necessary, no special treatment was specified, and so no special
treatment was ever applied to . Why start now?

No, it only *looks* like a space. (Why does this remind me of Dan Rather?;)
