What? Do you suggest that your single "0.166em" space (or whatever) is the best possible spacing for all and every font? I beg to differ

I hope the hyphenation isn't idiotic enough to put a hyphen between two quotemarks.

I had the same hope when I was younger
I've see hyphenations before question marks and after opening quote marks, and I mean real hyphenation, not just a linebreak. Of course the same could happen if you had the quote marks with nothing between them, but having a span boundary between the quote marks increases the chances of something like this happening.
Just an example of how some things that can go wrong:
Code:
some line with <a name="p123"/>an empty element
some line with<a name="p123"/> an empty element
They should be the same, right? Well, it turns out in ADE a line break can happen right after the <a>, and in the first case the preceding space is not discarded, resulting in a line with a visible space at the right margin (if justified). Ebook renderers are much more idiotic than we would like.
