I think we decided re spaces around em dashes. We go with Chicago, and 
don't permit them.

However, I've left them in non-English language text, as well as in 
quotations, egXMLs, and bibliographic items such as ISO document titles, 
on the grounds that when you're quoting something else, you'll quote its 
spacing as well.

Cheers,
Martin
