Hi Siebrand,
Matma Rex already put me on the right track (thanks Matma!)
The easy way seems to be the {{spaces}} template. I copied it, and the underlying
templates, and it works fine.
And it may be worse than jail time: a customer of mine wants it! :-).

Why? In The Netherlands two spaces should appear in the address between
postal code and place in print-outs.
MediaWiki produces HTML and HTML "eats" white space. You can use
non-breaking spaces ( or  ) in your MediaWiki page source[1].
See
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Siebrand/test for quick proof of
concept. To make it easier on yourself, you could decide to put
"  " in a template and use {{--}} or something instead.
You can also decide to ignore all rules, and use one space to separate
postal code and place. I doubt you'll do too much jail time.
Kop op!
