WordWrapUtils is broken.

This is a new class, so it should either be pulled (preferred) or fixed (not
preferred, as there are various issues)

I have an implementation of Unicode TR14 for word wrapping almost ready. There are some fine points still to resolve though (Some width issues for east asean characters and how to handle combining markers. Well taking this into account the current class is even more broken.) Preparing the tables from the report was painful, I feel like a hero now.

I'd vote for pulling the class and move it elsewhere.

This would help reduce the size of StringUtils, and provide much better
functional grouping. There is lots we can do with words. (Of course you
could argue for a separate [text] project, but I doubt there is that much.)

Other features for [text] - parsing text into words - spell checking - character normalization (well, there is icu4j) - glyph shaping - hyphenation - word inflection - morphological analysis, grammatical analysis - various tools for handling data necessary for the tasks above

I can contribute some code for most of the above. FOP would be
the first user of a commons hyphenation component and and will
probably also take advantage of character normalization in the long
term.
