Yes, it's possible. The Autoquote.py script detects typewriter quotes,
then deletes them and replaces them with typographic quotes.

The en+emdash.py script detects hyphens. A single one is left alone. Two
in a row change to an en dash, 3 in a row to an em dash.

So spaces could certainly be deleted, you just have to figure out the
algorithm for deciding which ones to delete, 2 in a row, something else?
