Most of UTF-8 chars are not following simple rule as Russian nor English. Do you know Asian languages rarely use space to separate words. This is only my thought based on my limited knowledge. If you think it is worh, please go ahead to impliment such thing.

So if you want this to be fixed, you need to come up with solution. As long as it does not break other languages, it is likely to be accepted. But I really think you should think about improving Docbook-xml support of russian. This debiandoc* tool chain is deprecated since upstream is dead. I am mere Debian package maintainer.
