It wouldn't allow line breaks, but it would indicate an unwanted word
boundary, no? (I don't have access to UTR14 at the moment, but the text
Ken quoted
"...inserting a word joiner between two characters has no
effect on their ligating and cursive joining behavior. The
word joiner should be ignored in contexts other than word
or line breaking."
wouldn't seem to make sense if WJ did not indicate a word boundary.)
