Word breaks after underscores #498

Description

Describe the issue
Please stop adding <wbr> to the text of documents.

I can understand why you might do this is certain very specific cases, like after "/" in the URLs that are shown in references, because browsers are still weirdly inconsistent in their wrapping of URLs (thanks Safari!). However, this was taken way too far. Reading RFC 9000, for example, which uses a lot of snake_case and SHOUTY_CASE names for things, those names are quite often split across lines, implying that there is space after the underscore.

These <wbr> elements are destroying authorial intent and need to be expunged.

I realize that this might fall on deaf ears, after my request to have this stop in #424 was answered by moving the <wbr> instead, but I'm not happy with that resolution.
