Both properties prohibits line breaking at specific places for different purposes so they don't conflict, except word-break:break-all which allows more breaks than regular line breaking opportunities. The resolution for the case is already in the spec as[1]:
lines may break between any two letters (except where forbidden by the ‘line-break’ property)
> Ex 1. Should we break all characters by work-break: break-all?
> (should we ignore line-break?)
>
> div {
> word-break: break-all;
> line-break: strict;
> }
As above, it means lines may break between any two letters except where line-break:strict forbits.
> Ex 2. Should we don't break CJK characters by word-break: keep-all?
> (should we ignore line-break?)
>
> div {
> word-break: keep-all;
> line-break: loose;
> }
Both keep-all and line-break:loose defines where lines should not break, so they don't conflict. The two sets of prohibiting line break opportunities should be unioned.
Hope this resolves your concerns.
