Danilo : please don't accept this feature in Launchpad for now.
This will be very confusing for our contributors and it could lead to several problems.
I've already exposed my point of view in another comment, but let me try to explain it more clearly.
Using NNBSP instead NBSP leads to a very little visual improvement.
NNBSP has never been used in French translations.
And the more important, NNBSP is *not* supported by KDE/Qt applications.
In KDE/Qt nnbsp is not display at all!
In TTYs NNBSP is replaced by a small lozenge.
Before trying to use it in French translations we have to be sure that upstreams teams are agree to change their policies about non breaking space usage. We have to be sure that all applications have a correct support (or at least a fallback mechanism to nbsp) of nnbsp. We have to be sure that all the conversion process between po files and specific formats are treating nnbsp correctly.
