Ken's solution (process to insert a zero-width space after certain 
characters where a line break is tolerated, such as a slash) is a good one; 
it'd be nice to tell the FO processor what these "break-after" characters 
are, and then not have to worry about the string pre-processing.

I see that Ken has suggested we not try to get it into an already-large 
spec; I, however, don't see why we should prejudge this (it's only a 
suggestion!): let the WG decide.

Cheers,
Wendell
