Okay. That's three votes for "0"; the people have spoken.

Thanks, guys/gals. Much appreciated.

P.S. I've seen where some printed books add paragraph spacing. Similarly, it was also more traditional to add space on both sides of an em space, like this:

wurdz(space)—(space)more wurdz as opposed to—this crowded crap. I use the space because I think it's tidier; it breathes better. It actually looks like someone's trying to say something that's separate from the main text.

Point: all kinds of ways to do stuff out there. But I agree that a simple css convention will probably do my ebooks a world of good.
Again no. an em dash should not have space on either side. Same with an ellipse. Please don't be adding excess space that we don't need and don't want. And it's not crap to not have excess space. It's the best looking way to do it.
