	Any blank, or several punctuations but not all (; : ? . !). But we could start with "blank" delimiters and see what results it gives to us. 
A word is, as far as I know, precedded by a blank sign or nothing at all (start of line), but depending on how it's implemented, we do not necessarilly need to borrow about this.
Any other idea about these rules ? I based my suggestions on what Jaws for Windows does in "echo by word" mode.
