For background, Annex 14 is very permissive, implicitly allowing line
breaks wherever they are not explicitly disallowed and does not, for
example, disallow breaks following closing punctuation, allowing for
example, this break:
"e.
g., a thing"
That is, Annex 14 allows this break, even though it would be wrong in
any Western language I'm familiar with.
It would be worthwile to make line breaks table-driven and language-dependent
in the same way word breaks are.
