nbsp is non-ASCII too.  In general, CSS only collapses ASCII spaces, so any non-ASCII space would be fine.  The problem is, AFAIK, there's no space character that's the width of a regular space, except space itself and nbsp.  All the ones you suggest are either noticeably wider or noticeably narrower.

Ideally what we'd want is a space that doesn't collapse but does break.  Unicode doesn't know about collapsing, so there is no such thing.  pre-wrap, however, makes all regular spaces behave that way.
