For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: WebKit and Opera both treat <wbr> the same as <xwbr> for the purposes of linebreaking, which seems fine by me.
No, WebKit renders a linebreak (if needed) for <nobr>foooooo<wbr>baaaaaaar</nobr>. Apparently this is needed to render GMail correctly.
