Thanks for the fix.

You will certainly not want that in sentences like ``See Sections
\ref{a}, \ref{b} and \ref{c}''. So if LyX turns normal spaces into
protected spaces behind my back, I will certainly be a bit angry.

That where chktex is useful.

I think that, if there is a real need of putting automagically
protected spaces before \ref, then LaTeX itself should do it. LyX
generates the logical markup, and LaTeX job is to turn that into
something that prints well. For example, the cite package from Donald
Arseneau doesa great job for \cite. I really prefer to rely on
well-thought solutions from LaTeX wizards than IntelliSense-like
solutions (don't you hate when MSWord thinks it knows better than you
what you plan to write?).

Spotting these particular abbreviations only makes sense for english
anyway. We certainly do not want to hardcode in LyX all abbreviations
for all languages supported by LaTeX/
