LM> To my knowledge, in English the em-dash is used without spaces, and in

LM> blah---blah

LM> in LaTeX code.

LM> Whereas in Danish, we write

LM> blah -- blah

LM> that is with spaces and with an en-dash. I haven't heard that a 
LM> non-breaking space is needed in this case.

In Babel documentation the use of dashes in different typographic
traditions is somewhat discussed.
