Georg, great question, I only thought from my very limited experiences. Let me suggest a logical hierarchy for survival:
A typographical space is always included with intention, so I would delete the normal space at first. A zero-width space is not really a whitespace, I would not include this into the collaps-rule. Non-breaking spaces have a reason to be, they should not be deleted. If two non-breaking spaces of the same or different width accidently follow each other (I can hardly imagine a situation when this happens, but things sometimes do happen), I would suggest to give the only one, and always the smallest one the highest chance for survival. So in your example the non-breaking-space would survive. - Did I forget any case (it is late here in Japan)? - Do you think it is basically OK to think of such an option in the stage of rendering the page with FOP from the FO-document?
