Well, thanks for the effort but this patch wont make it into FOP
soon, mainly because the layout core doesn't take kerning into
account at all, which needs to be fixed first.
Also, if I understand you correctly, kerning should also be applied
for the case (emDiff  -33000), and text decoration position as well
as the rx and word width should be compensated for the kerning.
But..., that's only half of the solution! The first case 
(word-characterspace) is more difficult.
Not really: keep the text of the last rendered word in lastWord
or something and add the kerning correction to the current rx
respective the space. The lastWord must be cleared if something
special like an image is rendered in between.

decrease the space between words and not between Characters,
If i have to increase or decrease space between characters what do i need to 
do??

 Hi All,
 I want to increase the letter spacing within words in order to shrink or 
 expand the word to fit into a specific width.
 Is it possible in fop 0.20.4???

Yes, have a look at docs/examples/fo/textdeko.fo
