    <thetext>WebVTT should support the escape &quot;&amp;nbsp;&quot;.

Use cases from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-texttracks/2012Apr/0012.html:

&gt; Do not break a modifier from the word it modifies.
&gt; Do not break a prepositional phrase.
&gt; Do not break a person’s name nor a title from the name with which it is associated.
&gt; Do not break a line after a conjunction.
&gt; Do not break an auxiliary verb from the word it modifies.

For example, &amp;nbsp; allows you to write &quot;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Sbaitso&quot;, preventing word wrapping from splitting the title from the name.

This is currently possible, by inserting literal Unicode NO BREAK SPACE, but that requires jumping unreasonable hoops, and makes the placement of nbsp invisible when viewed in anything but a specially-configured editor.</thetext>

    <thetext>Yeah, I guess that makes sense.</thetext>
