Here is my summary of my corrected text suggestion, taking
into account Martin and Patrick's suggested emendations:

================================================================

[[ New paragraph ]]

NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (NNBSP) is a narrow version of NO-BREAK SPACE, which
except for its display width behaves exactly the same in its
line breaking behavior. It is regularly used in Mongolian in 
certain grammatical contexts (before a particle), where it also
influences the shaping of the glyphs for the particle. In Mongolian
text, the NNBSP is typically displayed with 1/3 the width of a
normal space character.

[[ New paragraph ]]

When NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE occurs 
in French text, it should be interpreted as an "espace fine 
insécable".

[[ New paragraph ]]

The MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR is equivalent to a NNBSP in its
line breaking behavior, but has different
effects in controlling the shaping of its preceding and
following characters. It constitutes a word-internal space
and is typically displayed with half the width of a NNBSP.
