I agree, my point was stupid, sorry. I'll take it back.

Okay, here's my more constructive argument:

First, you have to understand that the punctuations are of a completely different language. By stating, "we might as well remove a space after and before all brackets, including the normal ones", it suggests that you are mindlessly disregarding that there are differences between the grammar and sentence construction between different languages. It is the same as asking why are there upside-down exclamation marks in Spanish, and concluding that all exclamation marks should have been the same way up. I frequently write essays in Kanji, and I can assure that there are "no spaces" between the texts and the right-angled brackets. Take a look at Japanese or Chinese texts, you should notice that there are no spaces used. The only problem we have here, is that we are using both English and Japanese. However, I believe that the focus of the usage of the brackets are to emphasize the "kanji", therefore I believe no spaces are required.
