I'm pretty sure you can do this with TeX. As for other formats - we already
warn about other document formats not capturing all of ODF's capabilities; this
would just be another one. (This issue might be mitigated by an export filter
toggle for replace spaces with NBSP's in such text.)

Anyway, the argument about other formats and apps is essentially an argument
against technical leadership in general: Don't do things which are word
processors don't support. IMNSHO, that is _at most_ an argument regarding
effort investment priority, not feature validity. The use case is clearly
demonstrable.

Not _easier_, but part of _styling_, as opposed to hack-based.

With typical uses of this feature (legal case titles, book titles, person names
etc.) - you don't. Also, when we end up having decent paragraph-level algorithm
(see bug 38159) - there will be even less chance of that happening.
