This approach might also work with thin spaces in older versions of
FrameMaker, which are not zero width but are unnoticeablke to at least
98% of readers. But I must admit that I've never tested to see if
FrameMaker does indeed break lines after thin spaces, and it's too
late in the evening to trust the results if I try it now. :^)
