Would it be ok to treat [Unicode space chars] as spaces?
Ok.
Blah^Lblam.
Or
Blah ^L blam.
In my mind (and in TeX), ^L ends a paragraph, wherever it occurs. So
this is like:
Blah
blam.
and
Blah
Blam.
The trailing and leading spaces in the second case don't make any
difference in the output here, but in other cases, the leading space
would be significant -- inside @example, etc. That is,
@example
foo^L bar
@end example
Is like:
@example
foo
bar
@end example
Ok?
(I'm not sure if there are any cases where trailing whitespace is
significant. Maybe inside macros or something.)
