Comment:

 > Changing the TinyMCE configuration affects the behavior of leading
 spaces in paragraphs.

 Yes, since the charset in JS is UTF-8, `\s` matches U+00A0. Once we have
 the HTML entities there, they will be treated as string. Leading spaces in
 paragraphs are still user input.

 Will need to add tests (both JS and PHP) and try to cover all places that
 will be affected by this change. Most notably the JS wpautop() and
 pre_wpautop() and also the PHP wpautop().
