I understand this (as the tosmabru test) is needed to ensure

uniqueness of word breakdown even when all spaces are removed.
I must confess I do not understand why this is so important, it seems
to me that not using spaces (and pauses) as a mechanism to break words
creates more difficulties without bringing any benefit.
To be clear, I'm not advocating any change! I fully accept things as
they are defined. Just would like to understand better the benefits of
considering {to smabru} and {tosmabru} the same thing.
