For Jan_J’s request (and related problems of the line-breaking algorithm),
there is now bug 57652 - “Wrong treatment of Word Joiner (U+2060) in line
breaking algorithm”.

However, I think that one solution does not necessarily invalidate the other.
I.e., when the bug 57652 would get fixed, and WJ + SP (+ WJ) would act like an
elastic NBSP, we could still discuss if the behaviour of U+00A0 should be
changed, too (or better: if an option to choose the behaviour of U+00A0,
elastic or fixed, should be added). So the present bug report is still a valid
enhancement request and essentially independend from bug 57652.
