I wonder if there's any plans/ideas on implementing the locale-aware text breaking in WebKit? Here in the Java port I've implemented this for line break iterators (so the Java port is able to split e.g. Thai text correctly), but I'd rather adopt the common approach if it does exist (or is planned.)
As of ICU 3.6, dictionary-based Thai word boundary detection is supported regardless of locale, so this case works correctly in mainline WebKit, too.
In general, language-specific engine features (such as better font selection) are blocked on <http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi? id=16801> - we do not have a practical way to tell what the language is yet. Did you use :lang in your port, or just some system-wide default?
