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.

The Chicago manual (14ed) says that slashed/dotted dates are bad style and should be avoided and that one should use full month names instead. Best wishes, Taco
