The rule that is eliminating spaces and tabs in en-us-g2.ctb is
pass2 $s1-10 @0
This looks for any sequence of cells with the attribute space and with 
length from 1 to 10 and replaces them with dot 0, which is an ordinary 
space. This is desirable in ordinary translations, but might cause a 
problem for back-translation and in screenreader applications.
