[xep-support] Re: Line breaking rules for Korean.

I think there are two schools/options and the use of the words "only valid"
is . well . not valid.

Korean *can* be set with only breaks at spaces. However, this should be (and
never is) used with justification as it would lead to terrible results.

I believe it is optional to allow breaking only at spaces, not "only valid".

You would note text like this in the Unicode Line Breaking standard . note
the use of "commonly" and not the use of "mandatory":

"Korean makes use of both styles of line break. When Korean text is
justified, the second style is commonly used, even for interspersed Latin
letters. But when ragged margins are used, the Western style (relying on
spaces) is commonly used instead, even for ideographs."

At any rate, I have forwarded the request into our team for additional
comments.

That doesn't sound like the rules as I learned them. Most Korean documents
can break between all Hangul characters with the exception that there are
characters defined to not be left alone at the start or end of the line.
Among other places describing this, there's
