[csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Virtual word boundary should not affect justification (#7191)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-4] Virtual word boundary should not affect justification ==
2.2.1. Detecting Word Boundaries: the [word-boundary-detection](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#propdef-word-boundary-detection)[](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#word-boundary-detection) property

> A virtual word boundary is similar to the presence of the ZERO WIDTH SPACE (U+200B) character: it introduces a [soft wrap opportunity](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#soft-wrap-opportunity) and is affected by the [word-boundary-expansion](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#propdef-word-boundary-expansion) property. Its presence has no effect on text shaping, nor on [word-spacing](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#propdef-word-spacing). However, inserting [virtual word boundaries](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#virtual-word-boundary) must have no effect on the underlying content, and must not affect the content of a plain text copy & paste operation.

The i18n WG thinks the text should probably also say that the virtual word boundary is invisible to justification algorithms (just like ZWSP), ie. add justification to the list after "Its presence has no effect on...".
