It's true. Continental European style guides tend to require an "en
space" there, but for en_US and en_GB (and even en_CA, unlike fr_CA)
the style guides all agree that these spaces are prohibited. You
can put a space before a dash sometimes, but not a semicolon or
exclamation mark or any of these others.
