Yes, many systems cannot display U+2002 because most fonts have no glyph for 
U+2002, so we see squares instead of space thouthands delimiters. I have this 
problem(small squares as the thousands delimiters) with the wget in GNU/Linux 
2.6/glibc-2.5/ru_RU.UTF-8. Only Terminus and Fixed fonts have a glyph for 
U+2002 character. So U+2002 as a system thousands separator in ru_RU locale 
implied a bad compatibility. 
And BTW I see no one other locale with the U+2002 as a separator, but I can see 
many locales with U+0020 and U+00A0 separators. Is that some kind of experiment 
on Russians? :)
