Allowing users to enter "normal" spaces in Sigil's Book View is a recipe for disaster. Always has been. The damage that will be wreaked on a document by allowing normal spaces to be entered in Book View far outweighs any minimal damage that using nbsps in place of normal spaces in Book View might cause.

How so?
I would think that having an nbsp between every two words in a sentence would potentially cause more damage than having the rare double space collapse into a single space.
And if one needs a double space, it is easy enough to switch to code view to add two nbsp's. Considering how ubiquitous a single space is compared to the odd time one needs a double space, I'm not sure how the choice made causes
less damage.
IMHO, it seems more sensible to add a line or two to the guide about how to ensure one's (rare) double spaces than it is to assume users are incapable of doing so and thus automating all spaces in book view.
