XEP does not break lines immediately before trailing punctuation 
characters, closing brackets and quotes, small Katakana and Hiragana 
characters, superscript characters, etc. and immediately after opening 
brackets and quotes, Spanish leading punctuation, currency symbols, etc.

These are the part of rules of XEP's line-breaking algorithm.
(See http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Linguistic_LineBreaking for 
details).

You cannot add/remove "prohibited" characters to/from this algorithm, 
but the existing rules cover the most "basic" cases of the Kinsoku Shori.
