But those are really different problems from Travis's, since spaces
don't exist as coded characters, but rather as offsets in image space.

BTW I was amused that Travis pointed out you didn't have to go to
ancient languages to find inconsistency in use of word-separating
spaces in a single script.  Of course it was Japanese!
