I have tested Chinese translation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights
available at http://www.un.org/chinese/hr/issue/udhr.htm .

1.
........................\**thedefinedfont** 认
........................\glue 0.0 plus 20.0 %% line break should not occur
........................\**thedefinedfont** ， % U+FF0C
........................\glue 0.0 plus 20.0
........................\**thedefinedfont** 乃

Line break is prohibited before U+FF0C (fullwidth comma)
but current beta inserts glue.  This should be corrected.
The same for U+FF1B (fullwidth semicolon).

2.
........................\**thedefinedfont** 由
........................\penalty 10000
........................\glue 0.0 plus 20.0
........................\**thedefinedfont** 、 % U+3001
........................\penalty 10000 %% this should be deleted
........................\glue 0.0 minus 5.0
........................\glue 0.0 plus 20.0
........................\**thedefinedfont** 正

Line break is allowed after U+3001 (ideographic comma),
so \penalty10000 after U+3001 should not be inserted.
The same for U+3002 (ideographic full stop).

I don't know much about Chinese typesetting, but IMO
it would be better if these full width CJK punctuations
is forced to half width and 0.5em glue is inserted after
those characters.
