It is because they are separated. Our synthesizers are taught to read
words, if there are spaces, then it becomes read one letter at a time, and
very very annoyuying. In Braille, there is a "letter sign" because letters
can be used as contractions.
So if you kept the titled spaced, like in the word book you would have.
letter sign B letter sign O lettersing O lettersign K, not "book"
also the screen readers read
B O O K. not "book"
That is why we usually glue the tittles together.

Shelly,
I gather you're saying that a font space or two
between letters in a title or heading make it
difficult for a Braille or Daisy reader to read. I've
recently started doing that (just recently found out
how). If that's the case, I'll stop immediately.
