No objections from me there.  Too much TeX does that very fast to the
way you think about text wrapping.

The rising popularity of 'mobile browsing' will only make wrapping in
somewhat unfortunate places worse.  With browsers running in handsets
and phones, where the line length is often severely limited, browser
hints like &nbsp; are certainly a nice proactive method of avoiding
output like:

        The first release we have also made
        available as a DVD image was FreeBSD
        7.2.

That's why I fixed this after Manolis noticed :-)

In other news, we have now only one 'not translated at all' chapter
(marked with red) in the status report Manolis produces with a cron job:

        http://www.freebsdgr.org/sgml.php

When we hit the 'Handbook 1.0' milestone, where a full copy of the
Handbook (even if slightly older than the CVS 'head' version), we should
probably throw a huge party!
