What on Earth was stopping you from looking at the HTML spec, and
finding the no-break space?

Was there? Citation, please. In what way is this supposed to be an
improvement, for the questioner's purpose, on the defined semantics
for - or, for that matter, on the relevant CSS proposal (but
CSS proposals are optional, by design) ?
Just occasionally, you might find a proprietary extension which works
when it works, does not duplicate a function defined in the
interworking specifications, and does no real harm on client agents
which implement just the interworking specifications. But that
doesn't look like one of them.
