We certainly don't, as a WebKit maintainer, I can say that we don't intend to match other browsers in this regard even for Latin script.

No, in CJK, some browsers would treat each character as a word, and others would use dictionary-based lookups. There is no sensible way to expect one behavior or another.

I don't expect non-interoperable nature of word boundary to change in foreseeable future.
