Re: Collapsing breaks & non-beaking spaces. (fwd)

I say non-collapsable.  I do not consider it whitespace - it is a character
with no visible glyph IMHO.  "AA" is not collapsed to "A".

Sure it is used as a presentation hack - so what?  A LOT of things are
used as a presentation hack.  Are we to start eliminating any element that
could possibly be abused?
