CLDR TL;DR article

[Steven R. Loomis]

Philippe,
 I don't read in http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#ListPatterns where only one character is allowed, is it a survey tool or test limitation? Is there a bug filed if so?

That thin space should also be present beside all dashes not connecting two words; unlike English that prefers no whitespace at all with em dash), and it is also the standard whitespace used as the separator for grouping digits (numeral quantities, phone numbers...).
