[XeTeX] Space characters and whitespace

[Tobias Schoel]

Thanks for the info.

Will something break up, when using

\newunicodechar{<U+2009>}{\,\hspace{0pt}}
\newunicodechar{<U+202F>}{\,}

in the preamble? Or does some important or highly used package use these 
characters specifically?

ciao

Toscho
