It would be a different matter if the text contains a space (but then is usually a better approach: use foo bar instead of <nobr>foo bar</nobr>) or a hyphen (e.g., <nobr>foo-bar</nobr> is really the only practical way to prevent browser from breaking the text into "foo-" on one line and "bar" on the next one). If you wish to use <nobr> and still use a validator, you might consider using a validator that can deal with "extended DTDs", such as the www.htmlhelp.com validator.
