'Word-bounded' or 'word-bound' ? #95

3.6.3 Justification with Word Bounded Wordspace and Punctuation http://w3c.github.io/elreq/#justification_with_word_bounded_wordspace

referred to here as “word bounded”

'word bounded' suggests to me boundaries and wrapping, whereas 'word-bound' suggests sticking to a word. Is 'word-bounded' the standard term, or should we consider changing it?

There is no standard term, "word bounded" was coined in the course of writing the spec, an earlier draft used the description "left bounded". Sticking to a word is the intended meaning to communicate here, thus "Word bound" is an appropriate change.
