<rdar://problem/11246877>

WebKit doesn’t recognize a line breaking opportunity between a slash and a latin character (e.g. after the slash in “before/after”), but the Unicode standard, specifically UAX #14, says that there is a line break opportunity there (see <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/#SY>). The Unicode behavior allows long URLs to wrap better.
