Space plus thin space is a nice idea. The kerning pair for roman Adobe Bembo (full point,space) is -100 em units or a tenth of an em space. (1000 em units = one em.) A thin space is one-twelfth of an em, so the thin space + space combination would be slightly smaller than a normal space, but this may be acceptable to you. 

Incidentally, I have always wished that the non-breaking space in FM was not fixed and would expand or contract with the normal word spaces in a line. The documentation used to imply that this was the case, but it's not. 

Cheers, Dominic
