Contrary to the Thai support in CJK (with cjk-enc), thailatex (with
swath) doesn't use inter-character spacing.  It only has stretchable
space at word boundaries, which I consider suboptimal.
*Theoretically*, the results of CJK should look smoother. :-)

However, the Thai word dictionary in emacs (and thus consequently used
by cjk-enc) has only about 10600 entries, while swath has almost
24000.  Maybe this makes a difference.  Since swath is GPLed software,
it would be probably a good idea to contribute the larger dictionary
to Emacs.  BTW, is swath's dictionary really free?  I miss a source
reference for it.

And another question: Thai word breaking in emacs is modeled after
cttex.  Is swath operating in a similar way, that is, does it search
the longest applicable entry from the dictionary, applies it, then
moves on to the next word?
