Symbol I think makes for a nice generic container. The line-breaking rules would be the same as <nobr>, but you wouldn't have the presentation vs. sematic argument. That's really what we're talking about isn't it. Above (...) is a symbol with specific meaning. (-a) is a symbol, (%20) is a symbol. A symbol shouldn't be broken up into its parts because then it's not a symbol anymore.
