No, this behaviour is documented and is part of the SVG standard. The
non-breaking space is the correct character to use here, and so this
is not just
skirting the issue. The issue was the incorrect use of normal spaces.
In
user-generated texts, this character might also be the correct one, I
don't see
what you mean. Sorry I didn't see this sooner; didn't get any
notification.
The SVG standard does _not_ determine what we can place in markup. If
our translation from markup to SVG loses spaces, we need to fix that
conversion, not avoid using spaces in markups.
