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

>So does anyone know of any circumstances in which it would make sense to use ZWSP inside a word or sequence of characters in a script that is cursive?

If the sequence does not otherwise contain any spacing or spaces characters, then no.

>Would control of justification behaviour be such a circumstance? (Can't see it really, but if so, we need to ask further questions about how that would work.)

Justification should entirely ignore ZWSP, in particular, it should not assign a non-zero _width_ to it.

>For that matter, does ZWSP have a useful application in any script outside those that don't separate words with spaces (such as Khmer, Japanese, etc.)?

Yes, as has been mentioned above.
