(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)
I guess this is a feature request to have whitespace-mode being able to
emphasise the space characters that aren't the normal ASCII space
separately. That (surprisingly enough) doesn't seem to be an option?
And, indeed, whitespace-mode only knows about SPACE and NO-BREAK SPACE,
and none of the other space characters.
So I think a new whitespace-style should be added -- like `other-space',
for all the spaces that aren't SPACE.
However, the original impetus for doing this may be somewhat lessened by
Emacs now defaulting to highlighting other spaces in a different way by
default -- even without whitespace-mode.
