Sorry, I entered the wrong Wikipedia page address with a list of whitespace
characters.  The correct one is
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character".

Also, I don't think anymore that EM SPACE, EN SPACE, EM QUAD and EN QUAD should
be widened proportionally wider than normal spaces are widened on justified
paragraphs.  Nor I do think that they shouldn't.  I'll leave that opinion to
people with more typography expertise than me.  (Unless you want to add this
choice of behavior to style formatting -- but using two or three NORMAL SPACES
together on a justified paragraph should do the trick of making certain gaps
wider than normal spaces).
