For number formatting, if the group separator in normal writing is a space then
a U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE (NBSP) should be used (as also defined in locale data
where applicable) instead, because you don't want your numbers wrap to the next
line. Similar, if the group separator should be a thin space then for number
formatting purposes it should be a U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (NNBSP).

Whatever keyboard shortcuts would be assigned to enter various spaces is beyond
the scope of i18npool's locale data.

However, programmatically the es-ES locale uses '.' dot as group (thousand)
separator, see also https://ssl.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?d_=en&_=es_ES
under "Numbers : Western Digits" and
https://unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/verify/numbers/es.html

The cited article (attached screenshot) seems to talk about ISO 31-0 ("la
normativa internacional"), in which the decimal separator can be either dot or
comma and the group separator a small space, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-0#Numbers
