> Anyone know if Internet Exploder supports ZWSP yet?

IE has kind-of supported ZWSP a long time, but up to IE 6 it wants to
_render_ its glyph, so things go wrong if the font in use doesn't contain an
(empty) glyph for it, displaying a rectangle instead. This seems to have
been fixed in IE 7. Thus, in terms of browser support, <wbr> is _far_ more
practical - it works on the great majority of browsers, and it does no harm
(no nasty rectangle) when it doesn't work.
