Formatting of feet and inches[edit]

I see that another editor has altered 5ft 0in to have a non-breaking space between the 5 and the ft. Other editors are very welcome and are perfectly entitled to do this.

However I was rather surprised that the 0in remains without the space, and several other feet-and-inches dimensions were unchanged. The WP: guidelines on handling dimensions are silent on dealing with this; 10[space]in, 53[space]ft etc etc, but no help on feet and inches. I would have thought that the only sensible possibilities are 5ft[space]0in (which I was using here) or 5[space]ft[space]0[space]inches ... perhaps all the spaces need to be non-breaking space code; or maybe just the ones between 5 and ft and between 0 and in? I can't see the point of 5[space]ft[space]0in. Maybe the other editors can suggest a logic for this?

Whatever, it must be obvious that the article should be consistent.
