One serious use in some cases is in line and word breaking.  Or am I
overlooking a special tag for whether the language is effectively
scriptio continua or not?  One feature I have noticed is that in
modern usage Pali has a strong tendency to have words separated by
spaces or other punctuation in the Thai and Tai Tham scripts.

CLDR seems strongly geared to languages used for man-machine
interfaces, but they are not the only ones that would benefit from CLDR
support.  CLDR contains data for text layout as well as date formats
and data for pick-lists.

Richard.
