    Is there a reason why non-breaking spaces (0xA0) have been added to the
    white-space table? Does AbiWord's piece-table not have support for
    non-breaking space? Is there a reason why it can't just be treated like a
    normal character?

    in abi/src/af/util/xp/ut_case.h:

    ucs_range whitespace_table[] =
    {
            {0x0009, 0x000d},
            {0x001c, 0x0020},
            {0x0085, 0x0085},
            {0x00A0, 0x00A0}, // had to add this by hand, for some reason in
    Unicode 3.1 it is marked as CS, not WS
            {0x1680, 0x1680},
            {0x2000, 0x200a},
            {0x2028, 0x2029},
            {0x202f, 0x202f},
            {0x3000, 0x3000}
    };
