 It is indeed a french localization issue, where typo rules say that
 there must be a non-breakable space before colonsi (in fact, before
 every double ponctuation, like :;?!).

 This rule stand for standard paper writing, however, I don't know if
 it make sense to apply it to a web UI ? 
 It is up to you ....
