But it's not trivial either.
There's an opensource project implementing word segmentation:
http://linux.thai.net/projects/swath
The specification (someone's thesis) can be found here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~paisarn/papers/thesis99.pdf
The ugly part of pdfTeX approach is that it requires an external text
processor to digest an input TeX document and return a copy with word
segmentation. Then pdfTeX is run on the resulting file. XeTeX can use
ICU library to do the segmentation.
In LuaTeX one would have to plug the word segmentation somewhere (but
writing that part is slightly non-trivial).
