CSS word-spacing issue in Safari 6.1/7.0 with text-align center

When I align text center in Safari 6.1/7.0 and add word-spacing, it centers the text as if its width did not include the space in the center.

E.g. CSS

div {
    width:300px;
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
}
h1 {
    text-align:center;
    word-spacing: 90px;
}

E.g. HTML

<div>
    <h1>Text Text</h1>
</div>

How it displays in all other browsers: https://i.sstatic.net/IFW3H.png

How it displays in Safari 7.0: https://i.sstatic.net/pMsKW.png

A demo: jsfiddle.net/2rwa3/2/

Are there any workarounds for this without wrapping the individual words with tags?

As an update, this was confirmed as a bug by Apple and merged into another open bug. Not sure on the resolution status at this time.

Setting the h1 to inline-block fixes the issue in Safari.

h1 {
    display:inline-block;
    text-align: center;
    word-spacing: 90px;
}
