U+2000 is not the same as \,; there is U+2009 THIN SPACE, but it depends on the font; for example, with Linux Libertine, U+2009 gives the same result as \,; this is not true for Latin Modern Roman. U+200B is definitely not equivalent to \; (it's a null wide "space") See my message <http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2011-February/020100.html> concerning U+00A0 (NO BREAK SPACE).
