If we go for spaces, I still think the way I mentioned in my original  
mail is the best approach:

p { letter-spacing: 1px }

<p><u>A</u><u>B</u>

This will (future tense, the browser currently doesn't implement this  
behavior but it's now speced in CSS3 Text. See test case[1]) satisfy  
the requirement that I don't want to make the space between A and B  
look abnormal. But I think this is a hack.
