There is none. In fact, the word-break property isn't part of CSS at all; it
is just in a CSS 3 draft and partly implemented in IE.

You cannot do such things in CSS. As a practical move, you could simply add
<wbr> after each comma. (Stay tuned to mourning complaints about <wbr> being
nonstandard. It's not allowed to mention it without making a liturgic remark
about its not being in HTML specifications.)

If you turn commas into spaces, you change the content. What's really
relevant here? As usual, a URL etc.
The odds are that you should simply stop creating the problem (either by
removing artificial width restrictions or by doing something to long strings
with no whitespace), but it's difficult to help with that without seeing how
you are now creating it.
