I'm sure it's possible, but easy? I can't think of a case where I'd like "a+b" to be treated as three words in one case but as only a single word in others.

No, but you might well want "a+b" and "C++" to be treated differently.

DeScribe had a simple do-not-break character attribute; I have always wished OOo had the same.

What did it do? How is it different from Writer's "no-width no break" formatting directive?

As far as I know, the "no-width no-break" device is a character, not a format.
