Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Add support for content-detection, Bunsetsu- (the smallest unit of words that sounds natural) or phrases-based line breaking (#6730)

There are two major styles of space-separated Japanese writing.  One is based on bunsetsu.  The other is based on words  (This is not actually correct, but I do not want to go into details here).  For example,  the bunsetsu-style provides 

私の     名前は     中野です

while the other provides

私    の    名前    は     中野    です

One of my dyslexic colleagues found it difficult read the former when he was an elementary school student.  However, is this a common problem?

Based on a Japanese government research fund, Okumura-sensei of Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University and I have conducted a series of experiments for three years.   More than ten students in the Learning Disability Centre of this university participated in these experiments.  Up to now, we have no reasons to believe that the second style is significantly better than the first style.
