I don't believe it. Full stop.

It's a nice tool. But it's a shame that it's not shipped with MS Windows,
and it's a shame that it came soooo late.

The question is: "Why is the space bar only for spacing characters?" Who 
requires that? And why? (I can name a few pieces of software for Windows 
that can help you assign a ZWNJ to Shift+space and don't nag. So this is 
not a Windows *requirement*.)

My friends at Unicode are labeling it as a "control character", which it 
really is. Your friends at Microsoft should also allow control character 
for space, or tell us why they can't.
