So would it be wise to make for example u2009 (narrow space) and u202f
(narrow no break space) active and map it to {\,} or {\nolinebreak\,}
respectively?

Inspired by the discussion about stretching and shrinking in monospaced
fonts, I have a question about the usage of space characters, (partially
about German specific, but there seem to be a lot of German speakers
active on this list):
1. Unicode defines some space characters: u2000 (EN QUAD) to u200b (ZERO
WIDTH SPACE), u00a0 (NO BREAK SPACE) and u202f (NARROW NO BREAK
SPACE).
Some of these roughly correspond to tex-macros \, \; ~ and so on. How
should these characters resp. tex-macros be used?
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).
Ciao
