What? A space is a valid legitimate character that has a known (per font)
advance  assigned (comment 16)--it is text!  I am asking it be treated as
text--not a half baked formatting tool. We allow no other text to extend beyond
margins--for what *purpose* do we allow this text to extend "dangling" outside
a paragraph or cell without wrap?
