Spaced em dash?

Asked by o0 (222points) December 15th, 2008

I know all the technical rules about dashs, and that Bringhurst recomends spaced en dashes over closed set em dashes. (http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Typographic-Style-Robert-Bringhurst/dp/0881791326)

However the copy editor is asking me to do spaced em dash to set off a phrase. I have seen this done before.

What are your thoughts?
