Actually, no. That change was actually specifically made for those who read Chinese. Having those kernel-inserted spaces wastes a lot of braille display space, makes the braille rather difficult to read, and prevents contractions from working. We "western" people tend to be a little arrogant, always tghinking that we know what's best for others.
