Firstt I did not speak about ZWSP but only about ZW(N)J joiners, second yes,
I would interpret ZWSP like a space, with a regular word-separation
semantic, including line breaking, graphic cluster separation,
editing/selection cursor breaks, and so on. I would also allow this
"zero-width" space to be widdened for line justification when only word
spacing is allowed, but no inter-character spacing expansion.

Please don't infer things from me unless I said something. And even in this
case, this would remain my opinion and my interpretation and use.
