Default ford focus plug gaps

I own a 2008 Focus 1.6 with the sigma engine,
there seems to be conflicting information. Haynes state 1.3mm whilst Iread else where that Ford changed to 1.0mm
The new FoMoCo plugs I picked up are gapped to 1.1mm.
Please someone tell me what the correct spec is.

I bought some on Saturday for a 2.0. They where gapped at 1.3mm, book is 1.3 but later recommendations are 1mm.

I gapped mine at 1.1mm and it runs fine.

The 1.0mm is to help stop the coil breaking down prematurely.
