If you highlight, for example, the first word in this sentence in the VE, you'll highlight "If " rather than "If". Highlight-and-bold or highlight-and-italicise are common workflows, and adding the closing markup after the space is suboptimal for linking or for future users of a page who will use source editing.

This isn't necessary; it's caused by the user selecting the space. Do you suggest that we crop these accidentally-selected spaces out? What if the user meant to select them? Are they just screwed at this point? This feels sub-optimal.
In what situation would a user want to italicise or link the space at the end of a highlight?
I mean, I can see an argument for space highlighting when someone is (for example) deleting text, but...
