Well, today I'm not so sure we've got a compromise over on 
WP:User:Noetica/ActionMOSVP.  I have been told the same thing at Wikia by 
everyone who has given an opinion, but it will help if I can say "I asked on 
the mailing list and it was unanimous", so: does everyone agree that automatic 
insertion (i.e., by Mediawiki software) of hard spaces into 'p. 1', '10 AD', 
and other places where every newspaper and magazine would also protect against 
wrapping, is preferable to inserting any special markup by hand, and especially 
preferable to a big campaign to try to "educate" everyone on the issue?  Some 
of you have said that you feel strongly that you would prefer not to see markup 
that you have to explain to newbies if it can be done invisibly.  And of 
course, it would save everyone a lot of time, and it would guarantee that the 
lines wrap correctly in these cases.  It seems like a slam dunk to me, but 
there are some editors who are, shall we say, resistant.  - Dan
