If I remember correcly discussion about french, these rules are correct
in most languages except french. There should be a space (NBSP) preceeding
':'. In case of '...' I'm not sure.

Another short rule:

For expressions e.g. "%d mm" going into line breaking algorithm you can
use NBSP instead of space. You will prevent ugly line breaks. NBSP is in
most charsets (except US-ASCII as character 160==0xa0). Similarly you
can use × (multiply) instead of plain x in expression like "%d × %d"
