I don't think this is only an interword question, especially when
you are typesetting a book like `The Joy of Chinese` which will involve
many paragraphs containing many English words nested in Chinese sentences.
So if users pay more attention to insert spaces when switcting different
languages, they will pay less attention to the contents they are
typesetting. In this case, we need ConTeXt to do this task (insert
spaces when switching to English from Chinese) automatically.
