Éric Araujo added the comment:

NON-BREAKING SPACE and NARROW NON-BREAKING SPACE are characters whose intent is 
clear and who are used by knowledgeable users and smart software, for example 
LibreOffice with an fr_FR locale.  I don’t know about the other characters 
listed by Serhiy, and I wouldn’t worry about them unless users requested 
support for them or another core dev explained why they should be supported.

A comment at the start of the module (where _whitespace, used in the patch 
here, is defined) even talks about NBSP; it is focused on bytes though and 
should be updated for the Python 3 unicode world.
