It is potentially a very significant change to implementations to have U+0020
change to U+3000 because this will require that text-transform happens after
white space collapsing. Right now implementations can do either: they can
transform before or after white space collapsing. So I think we should make
sure that this is needed in real-world cases before we make this change. Note
that U+3000 has very different behavior from U+0020 -- it is not just a visual
change. It has different line-wrapping behavior, it has different justification
behavior, and it is not affected by the 'word-spacing' property.
