So with the lack of support for buffer-local faces and with changed treatment of `show-nonbreak-escape' we should rename this variable to something like `show-no-break-space'.
You might as well make it `show-non-breaking-spaces' if you're going to rename it anyway. The current name is ugly, and I think the name you're proposing is unnecessarily confusing. It makes you wonder what the ``break space'' is.

Since we can't predict in which context and modes users might encounter non-breaking spaces, we should make their default highlighting as least annoying as possible.
I read that as a typo for ``at least as annoying as possible.'' :-) But now that I think about it, ``as little annoying as possible'' sounds slightly awkward too. What is the correct way to say it? --
