Another convention we use is spacing noun-nouns that aren't lexicalized as no-space compounds.
If the meaning is carried adequately by two separate words, there is certainly no reason to make a compound out of them. It is easier for the reader that way, at the trivial expense of asking the writer not to be lazy. Using a single-word compound might sometimes imply something that isn’t clear in a straightforward noun-noun construction, but the writer had better be pretty darn sure of his or her motivation when doing it. — ghunchu'wI'
