--- Comment #2 from livingfi...@gmail.com ---
I'm not certain, but I don't think the ICU BreakIterator actually adds ZWSP to
the text. Rather, it simply decides where to break the text when outputting,
without actually inserting new characters into the text stream.

But this has gotten me thinking:
I'm unhappy with the ICU BreakIterator for Khmer because it creates chaos when
non-Khmer (i.e. minority) languages are written in Khmer script. Before the ICU
BreakIterator was enabled for Khmer in LO 3.6, minority languages carefully
typed with ZWSP between words did line breaking perfectly.

It's understandable that Cambodians don't like typing ZWSP, but what if we
inserted ZWSP automatically, using an interface similar to the predictive text
input on an iPhone? If this were done, then line breaking, spell checking, word
counts, etc. would be greatly simplified.
