By the way, I would like to ask a dumb question here: if we can rename
'word-wrap', why can't we fold this property into a value of
'word-break', say, 'word-break: overflow;'?

It's been a year and half since the first time I read this spec, and I
am still very often confused by these various line breaking properties.
Correct me if I am wrong, there are four right?

* 'line-break'
* 'word-break'
* 'overflow-wrap'
* 'text-wrap'

Am I missing something?


Cheers,
Kenny
