Thanks, this looks good.

It does make me wonder if there are other instances of the missing-space
problem lurking. Grepping for backtick followed by single-quote shows
only one more case in user-manual.txt. I have no idea if that one hits
the same problem on older docbook versions. Or if it's a problem for any
other punctuation combinations. I'm happy to punt on it until somebody
with an affected docbook produces more bug reports. :)
