May I suggest that such knowledge is outside the scope of the LaTeX manual?
The manual is supposed to be a guide to the features of the program. As such,
it is entirely appropriate for it to stop at telling you how to put space
wherever you want.
*Where* such spaces should go seems to me to be the province of a manual on
"typesetting theory", something the LaTeX manual never claimed to be.
Anyone have a good suggestion for a "theory" manual?
