<nobr> was a nonstandard tag that, as you say, was never in any version of HTML, not even the ones that tried to codify the quirks of early Netscape and IE. I just don't recognize its existence :)
It's not that I'm "chunking things into separate blocks", it's that I have a container block that has a whole bunch of different stuff in it, all of which shouldn't wrap. And then there's one particular kind of thing that appears in just a few places in that container block, which should autowrap. The blocks that should autowrap appear inside of <li>'s which appear inside <ul>'s or <ol>'s which are inside something else, so there are several levels of nesting here. I don't want to have to close lists in the middle, just to make something autowrap - and it would mess up the styling of the lists (and the numbering, in some cases).
