No standards need citing. It was clear that SPACE was wrong.

... the mistake is that we didn't check to harmonize with CLDR.

Please file a bug and we'll change from NNBSP->NBSP to match CLDR.

Even though I think NBSP is visually wrong, we need to change both
CLDR and glibc at the same time to match.
