--- Comment #12 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at igalia.com> ---
Here is the ICU documentation: http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis

Note that each of the four period characters is clearly shown to be a word boundary character in the example "Your balance is $1234.56... I think."

It says it follows this standard for determining word boundaries: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries

That standard includes a grammar used to determine whether the period (U+002 FULL STOP) as well as other punctuation characters constitutes a word boundary or not, depending on the context of its use. (E.g. in 1234.56 it's not a word boundary.) We of course don't want to implement that in WebKit; I suspect ICU has already done so.
