Sorry, I do not get how can you see wrapping as not "formatational".
What meaning does it get say in aural media?
Other elements say you something about content - is it heading, list,
paragraph or maybe quote. <nobr> says you nothing - except that this
line/piece of text should not wrap when presented in visual media.
