Continuity partitions for Skorokhod representation #
A separable metric space admits countable Borel partitions of arbitrarily small mesh whose cells have null frontier for a prescribed finite measure. These are the spatial partitions in Billingsley's proof of the representation theorem.

A finite Borel measure on a nonempty separable metric space admits a countable Borel partition of arbitrarily small mesh, all of whose cells have null frontier. Empty cells are permitted; the covering and disjointness statements are exact, rather than almost everywhere.
