Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Need additional value of word-break for Korean (#4285)

Another way of saying what I wrote above is that 'justified paragraph alignment' has been the norm in Korean typesetting. Justified alignment works best with  'break-all' (break at syllable boundaries). It's similar to  English typesetting for 'justified on both edge' works best with hyphenation  (at  syllable boundary)  enabled.  

To have 'keep-all' (English equivalent of NO hyphenation) and 'justified alignment',  inter-word spacing has to be adjusted (some can be rather large).   In CSS,  'text-align: justify' and 'word-break: keep-all' can be used together.  

There are cases where 'ragged alignment on the right' is preferred and 'keep-all' is necessary. However, they're not for regular paragraphs but for multi-line titles and ad-copies,etc.
