I agree generally with everything you said. Wrt showing no-break space and non-breaking hyphen so that you can distinguish them from SPC and ASCII hyphen, `show-wspace.el' can help. There are commands that toggle the distinguishing display of each on/off, and you can customize the faces used for that. Quick toggling is helpful, because most of the time you don't care about the difference, but you can easily check. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/show-wspace.el http://emacswiki.org/emacs/ShowWhiteSpace#ShowWspace
