white-space processing test

According to fantasai message in www-style:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#spacing-props
>   # Word spacing affects each space (U+0020) and non-breaking space (U+00A0),
>   # left in the text after the white space processing rules have been applied.
>  
> This means that
>  
> <inline-block/><inline-block/> will only be affected by letter-spacing, whereas
> <inline-block/> <inline-block/> will be affected by word-spacing.

For now word-spacing property in Webkit doesn't affect white space between
inline blocks but does between usual words. Instead white space between
inline-blocks is affected by letter-spacing property.

Word-spacing property is widely used to eliminate spaces between inline-blocks
produced by code formatting white-spaces.
