But what about the author? Surely there is no reason to use a non-breaking space unless they intend it to mean that the characters before and after it belong to the same logical unit-of-comprehension?
The "non-breaking" part of non-breaking space refers to breaking text into lines. In other words, if two words are separated by a non-breaking space, then a line break will not be put between those words. A non-breaking space does *not* make two words into one word. -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/)
