<pre>Here is the ICU documentation: <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis">http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis</a>
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: <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries">http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries</a>
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.</pre>
