there is some spacing support in the mkiv files (but not yet finished, i
will pick up that cjk thread when the next beta is finished)
i dunno about zaspacing (and also am not sure about supporting it)
because it probably uses this 'code-between-characters' mechanism; it
only makes sense to support that when i make some interface for it and
it's one of those areas where xetex code is rather different from luatex
code
