There is of course a notion of words, but speaking about CJ (I know
nothing about K.), spaces are not put between words. I tried to do a
hack regarding this so that Lynx wouldn't force a space wherever there
was new line in the source, but failed. I think Hiroyuki Senshu's
modifications have solved this problem. So "justification" has no
meaning in Japanese, and I assume Chinese, too.
