'[[:blank:]]', when applied to wide characters, is surely locale and
OS dependent, yes. But...

This is assumption is justified by the fact that gnulib's test-isblank.c
succeeds on all platforms (as far as I know). It contains:
for (c = 0; c <= UCHAR_MAX; c++)
ASSERT (!isblank (c) == !(c == ' ' || c == '\t'));
