The second argument does not hold: maryjane and mаryjаne are similar but are different sequences of bytes.

The other issue with spaces is that you cannot easily tell how many there are. For example: "Johnny Appleseed" vs "Johnny Appleseed".

BTW, are there any languages/cultures in which the name structure dictates spaces before/after the name or the number of spaces between words in the name?
