3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual.
Could you answer or give your opinions an 0., 2. and 3. please? That would be great.
unfortunately I can only come up with a negative answer: I skimmed the Bringhurst and although he does discuss date strings with slashes as separators, I could not find anything concerning their spacing. As you guessed, “personal taste” might be a valid criterion in this matter. Maybe you should redirect this question to http://typophile.com/forums, but make sure to come back with a definite answer ;-) Philipp
