Which solution, though?  I think option 3 is the best one:

"Modify the man page to match the behaviour of "ls -q", and
modify both the behaviour and documentation for "ls -b" and "ls -B" to
make spaces readily apparent.  This could be done by adding VIS_WHITE
to the flags passed to strvis(3) in the safe_print() function in
src/bin/ls/util.c."

Running 'ls -b "foo bar"' yields:

On Lunix:   foo\ bar
On IRIX:    foo\0x4bar
On Solaris: foo bar
On NetBSD:  foo bar
