Well, "change the default behavior"... Everybody is behaving differently, including ways that are not allowed by the spec...

But anyway, yes, adding a switch was my initial proposal, and the way I recall the discussion, the conclusion was that
if that's the behavior we want, let's have it by default rather than opt-in.

On the other hand, Atom does not wrap in the mid of words but does not wrap before space either. Having an example of "wrap before space but not mid of words" would be helpful if you want this combination.

Agree on having 2 different behaviors. I'm proposing to trigger the first one with overflow-wrap: break-word, and the other one with a new value, overflow-wrap: break-spaces.

I think it goes into overflow-wrap (aka word-wrap) rather than word-break, but open for discussion.
