While it might only currently make sense for Java, it should be harmless for other languages and is a lot easier and cleaner to implement like that.
Also, note that this allows more things than Java actually allows, as it accepts any non-ASCII byte as an identifier, while Java seems to require a Unicode alphanumeric one. Again, it should be harmless and is a lot easier to implement than fully-fledged Unicode support.

@kugel- well… if the language(s) recognizes those as spaces, it'd be good. However, it'd be hard to implement, because for now all of ctags reads *bytes*, not characters; so recognizing a Unicode space would require reading the whole code point (at least) and check that.
