Suppose that there is a natural word break between XY, and no natural
word break between YZ. Then here are the word counts:
XY: 2
YZ: 1
X<ZWSP>Y: 2
Y<ZWSP>Z: 2
X<ZWNBSP>Y: 1
Y<ZWNBSP>Z: 1
So ap<ZWSP>ple will count as two words, but ap<ZWNBSP>ple counts as one.
Now, we are actually talking about word selection and arrow keying, but
this is related to line breaking, so looking at UTR#14 Line Breaking
Properties (http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr14/) might be
useful.
