The only reason typographic spaces exist is that they were cast in  
lead. It's legacy,
it results in poor typography, and creates problems which are hard to  
resolve (typographically,
not programmatically). For good typography, define entities of  
appropriate names and map them
to space-filled leaders of appropriate lengths -- and use them for  
truly good typography.
