    I've added to the definition of 'text-wrap: normal':
       "Line breaking behavior defined for the WJ, ZW, and GL line-breaking
        classes in [UAX14] must be honored."

    And to the definition of 'text-wrap' generally:
       "For all values, line-breaking behavior defined for the BK, CR, LF,
        CM NL, and SG line breaking classes in [UAX14] must be honored."

    That covers all the non-tailorable classes except for SP.
