This decision is reflected in the current counter-styles ED, which says 
that the initial value of suffix is

"\2E\20" ("." full stop followed by a space)

I wonder: would it be preferable to use "\2E\A0" (full stop followed by 
non-breaking space)? ISTM that it is generally undesirable to allow a 
line-break between the counter representation and the following text.

(In cases where the counter is -not- being used to introduce or "label" 
the immediately following text, and so the non-breaking space might be 
inappropriate, I'd expect that one would usually want to override the 
default suffix anyway.)
