Related to this I've run into a problem with ZWSP. HTML says that ZWSP should collapse with other whitespace: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#didx-white_space-1 Currently we don't do this --- e.g. A​ ​ ​B Is rendered with two spaces. If we try to do this, things get complicated because we need to track whether a run of whitespace is all zero-width whitespace (in which case it should collapse into a zero-width whitespace) or there's some non-zero-width whitespace (in which case it should collapse into a regular space). But the problem *then* is that we can no longer always retain the first space and eliminate the others. E.g. <span>​</span>​ Foo We don't know whether the ZWSP in the span survives or not until we encounter the first non-ZWSP after it. This makes life very uncomfortable. Any thoughts on what the right thing to do is here?
