Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Should zero width space break Arabic shaping? (#3861)

As someone pointed out, ZWSP doesn't have any justification behavior either.  It's as if it wasn't there.  The clarification in Unicode saying that it might stretch simply means that it might stretch the same way as it might without ZWSP.

I suppose not, because cursive scripts use hyphenation and as such should use soft-hyphen instead.
