It says that U+200B normally has no effect on letter spacing in most
scripts, but only indicates a word boundary (and therefore a possible
line break).  It also mentions that when letter-spacing Thai it may grow
to have a non-zero width, but that is the exception. (Thai apparently
doesn't put spaces between words, and uses U+200B as a word separator.)
