2.2.1. Detecting Word Boundaries: the word-boundary-detection property

However, inserting virtual word boundaries must have no effect on the underlying content, and must not affect the content of a plain text copy & paste operation.

The i18n WG thinks the text should probably also say that the virtual word boundary is invisible to justification algorithms (just like ZWSP), ie. add justification to the list after "Its presence has no effect on...".
