MediaWiki (actually PediaPress.de) decided to use our library a few years ago;
we did some work to improve inline images to support equations, but
they did not mention Asian line wrapping at the time and I did not know
about this limitation.

I guess they are simply not using our wordwrap=CJK option.  Our library
needs to be told "this is Japanese/Chinese, use a different algorithm";
it does not auto-detect based on the encoding.

Also, until some time last year, we could not properly handle mixed text
in the same sentence.  We have improved this now.
