How about a soft hyphen that DOESN'T show up?

Our interest here is in managing dense tables containing long words or URLs,
where normal formatting rules don't allow the lines to wrap.  We want to
give our pages the ability to wrap on cells that don't have spaces, and also
without inserting a (visible) character. Even more ideally, this wrappable
character would have a lower wrapping priority than traditional spaces.

I like to call it the breaking non-space
&bnsp;

Suggestions?
