If a two word phrase were to be typeset within a plain text file then each
letter of the two words would need to have an instance of the COMBINING
ITALICIZER after each letter of the word. Would one add an instance after the
space character that is between the words?

Guys, it is just a 4 days wait. Then we can discuss the last question in depth
until a consensus is reached!
My question was because in the days of handset metal type, the spaces used with
an italic font were usuallly the same as were used with a roman font.
The only metal type font that I met that had its own special angled spaces was
Palace Script.
So would one do exactly as with metal type or would one use the COMBINING
ITALICIZER after every character for completeness?
The only logical conclusion is that that this should be applied to line
feeds, tabs and other control codes as well. Just because digitally
encoded text include some entities that were not present in hot metal
typography is not reason to treat them as second class citizens.
