[css3-text] Default UA stylesheet for Korean has "word-break: keep-all"

It's informative, but the current default UA stylesheet[1] contains:

| /* Korean prefers to break only at spaces */
| :root:lang(ko) {
|  word-break: keep-all;
| }

I was under impression that all Korean documents use keep-all, but UAX#14, 8.2 Examples of Customization[2], Example 3 states that:
> Depending on the nature of the document, Korean either uses implicit breaking around characters
> Space-based layout is common in magazines and other informal documents with ragged margins,
> while books, with both margins justified, use the other type, as it affords more line break opportunities
> and therefore leads to better justification.

I checked a few Korean site and found that none of them use keep-all today, which is already available in IE[3]. So we should probably remove this from the default UA stylesheet.
