Does that actually break long words? Or just clip them?
I didn't think you could ever break long words in CSS 2.1, but IE does
have some extra non-standard properties for specifying that (I think it
might be the text-overflow property).
The only other possibility is to insert breaking zero width space
characters between each character in the content. But I think you said
you didn't want to change all the content.
