However, code that only accepts Japanese phrases but does not generate or verify them should be fine as is.
This is because when generating the seed, normalization as per the spec will
automatically change the ideographic spaces into normal ASCII spaces, so as long as your code never shows the user an ASCII space
separated phrase or tries to split the phrase input by the user, dealing with ASCII or Ideographic space is the same.

2. Word-wrapping doesn't work well, so making sure that words only word-wrap at one of the
ideographic spaces may be a necessary step. As a long word split in two could be mistaken easily

for two smaller words (This would be a problem with any of the 3 character sets in Japanese)

Rules 11 and 12 prevent the selection words that are not different enough. This makes each word more recognizable among others and less error prone. For example: the wordlist contains "atono", then "atomo" is rejected, but "atomico" is good.

All the words have been manually selected and automatically checked against the rules.
