Yes, you are right. I've compiled the file successfully now, after deleting the space. But it shouldn't be a problem for the enhanced discretionary, hopefully.

BTW, I've written a 48 line .ch file for xetex.web, successfully compiled and passed a simple test on Linux. It seems let TeX allow glue in discretionay is quiet straight forward, thanks to Donald's clean program structure. I don't have a compile environment on Windows now, I'll setup such environment in the several following day and see how it works when typesetting Tibe-tan scripts. So far there's no Tibe-tan input methods s/w on Linux, and my preprocessor cannot be porting to Linux easily since it use COM component to convert RTF file to text format, sigh.
