You're welcome; I thought you might be pleased. :)

If you'd like to try this, just say:

	\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "zh"
	\XeTeXlinebreakskip = 0pt plus 1pt
	\XeTeXlinebreakpenalty = 100

before some Chinese text, and you should get appropriate line-breaking 
behavior (no need for that active-character hack I proposed previously; 
it should "just work").
