0x20 followed by 0xA0 can be used to encode two spaces just as well.  In 
fact all sorts of whitespace can be retained in OSIS pretty easily 
without any changes.  Linebreaks (some combination of \n and/or \r) can 
be replaced by <lb/>.  Contiguous spaces can be encoded with 0x20 
followed by 0xA0.  And tabs can be encoded with a series of interleved 
0x20s and 0xA0s or just a string of 0xA0s.  Simple global replaces for 
these instances would be the easiest part of bringing old documents into 
an OSIS format.

But these (and all of your examples that followed) ARE formatting style, 
not grammar.
