Description Van Lam 2011-08-05 09:57:20 PDT 
The current implementation of visual word movement collects word breaks matching the Windows specification:
|abc   |def   |ghi| (LTR block) where | indicates positions of word breaks.

The Mac/Linux specification defines word boundaries when going left:
|abc   |def   |ghi| (LTR block)
and when going right:
|abc|   def|   ghi| (LTR block)

This blocks on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65277, as a fix to 65277 would allow a flexible way to select whether the next word boundary should be logically before or after a word given the editing behavior, box direction, and block direction.

I should rephrase:

This block *practically depends* on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65277.
