This is covered by Unicode TR14:

I don't think any browser fully implements that (why not?).  It appears to say that breaks are prohibited before class SY, which contains U+002F SOLIDUS (LB13), and prohibited after SY if it's followed by a digit (LB25), but otherwise permitted (LB31).  Breaks between alphanumerics (AL and NU) and opening punctuation like [ (OP) are prohibited by LB30, contradicting IE's behavior.

It would be cool if the full algorithm were implemented.  It contains a lot of useful advice, like "don't break before '!', even after a space" (common in French).  It doesn't seem complicated at all to implement -- does it have major problems?
