Planning for Parts Update 2012-01

[Philippe Hurbain]

I am wondering about proper number of space characters to insert in front of numbers for description sorting.
eg. I think that 30028,

Code:

Tyre 8/ 40 x 8 Slick Smooth

should actually be

Code:

Tyre  8 /  40 x  8 Slick Smooth

This assumes that tyre width and rim diameter will never exceed 10cm, which seems likely. Remains to see if space characters on both sides of / and x are needed (***)(readability vs. description length), could be also compacted as

Code:

Tyre  8/ 40x 8 Slick Smooth

Another example:

Code:

Tyre 28 /  23 x 43 ZR Street

Compact version

Code:

Tyre 28/ 23x43 ZR Street

(***) Tyres presently on PT uses no space character between rim width and /, but one between height and x. Why?
Thoughts?
