I suspect that what distinguishes ZWSP and TSEK in these circumstances is that [thai etc character][zwsp][whitespace] is likely to be an error, whereas [tibetan character][tsek][white space] is not (even when spaces in tibetan would theoretically use NBSP), or if it is an error this can only be detected by understanding the text. Same goes for ethiopic word space. I suspect that, mostly, content authors just need to be careful about how they compose the source text, so that spans of text that shouldn't include spaces don't, even if they are using an editor or tool that wraps lines automatically. It seems to me that that's also the approach you'd need to take when composing text in archaic hangul styles, where they didn't use spaces between characters. (Btw, this probably has implications for some aspects of [Semantic linefeeds](https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/) if they language of the text is doesn't use spaces as word separators.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3481#issuecomment-493444609 using your GitHub account
