Wolfgang knew the answer, and as the solution is so brilliant I don't
want to be selfish about this treasure:
\definetextmodediscretionary ThinSpace
{\penalty\plustenthousand\hskip.166em\relax}
\definetextmodediscretionary ThickSpace
{\penalty\plustenthousand\hskip.277em\relax}
... and in situations like "today is the 204.|ThinSpace|anniversary
of the death of Johann Gottfried von Herder" you will avoid an
unintended line-break after "204." but will keep all hyphenation
points in "anniversary". And that's great.
Cheers Johann Gottfried, btw!!
