Ah, ok, I was unaware about that. It would indeed make sense to have the 
same rules for all implementations.

As a side note spaces are ignored after alphanumerical accent @-command
like @ringaccent and following letter is considered to be the argument
which goes in the direction of stripping spaces after all the
@-commands.
