I'm not sure it's reasonable to make whitespace definition to match ever-expanding set of Unicode characters instead of some concrete consistent backward/forward compatible set of characters.

For your purposes, it would probably make sense to have a pseudo-class function like `trim()` that would take specific set of arbitrary characters to trim as its argument, e.g.:

    .example:trim("\A0"):empty {
        /* styles for elements that contain just non-breaking-space characters */
    }
