Damn. I guess you guys are all going to hate me for asking this, but ... what exactly is a mathematical space?
Jill PS. I'm going to pre-empt any puns on other interpretations of the phrase "mathematical space", such as phase space, N-dimensional space, Hilbert space and so on. Don't go there. PPS. I'm not sure if this is going to go off thread or not. Please feel free to change the subject if it is. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Dougall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 6:29 PM To: Mark Davis Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Proposed Draft UTR #31 - Syntax Characters i'd say wide. narrow means not incorporating some characters that would naturally fit into 'white space'. if i was parsing some text i'd consider a non-breaking space white space and i'd expect my code to reflect that. why would you not want your code to treat a non-breaking space or mathematical space not as white space? 205F ; Pattern_White_Space # MEDIUM MATHEMATICAL SPACE
