Description
"Follow-up of w3c/mathml#30 (closed), this is an entry to discuss spacing rules:
For now, the implementation note only says that only operator lspace/rspace and italic correction adds spacing in row-like elements: http://www.mathml-association.org/MathMLinHTML5/S3.html#SS3.SSS1
TeX spacing is mentioned here: http://www.mathml-association.org/MathMLinHTML5/S2.html#SS2.SSS2
Gecko's non-standard rules: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/layout/mathml/nsMathMLContainerFrame.cpp#l1058

Research direction
Start with the MathMLinHTML5 implementation note and the linked TeX spacing discussion, then compare Gecko's rules in layout/mathml/nsMathMLContainerFrame.cpp at line 1058. The issue does not define a chosen spacing model or implementation target, so completion would require agreeing on the rules and documenting or implementing the resulting behavior.
