I would like to see a non-space-break entity.  Consider it the inverse of the
non-break-space entity.  Basically it provides a hint to the render engine that
a line break may be inserted if necessary.

Consider the text "something/anotherthing" if the space to render the tag is
narrower than the text it will be rendered as per overflow.

now, consider &nspb; (non space break) entity. "something/&nspb;anotherthing"
would normally render as "something/anotherthing" but in cases where the text
is too wide to fit in the space the render engine can insert a space after the
slash effectively rendering it as if it were written: "something/ anotherthing"
