By §9.1 of the HTML 4.0 spec, zero-width space (​) is a whitespace 
character. It marks word boundaries in languages which do not have spaces 
between words.

Build M15 and nightly build 2000042208 don't layout as if this were so. Mozilla 
does not wrap lines which contain only zero-width spaces.
It does work in Win32 2000042208 after all. Mea culpa.

While you're here, shouldn't you add form-feed 0x000C as well?  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.1


    
    

    
  
will do. 0x000C will be appended to white space judge statement.
