I wanted to make my tag cloud (new with WP 2.3) look more like the one generated by del.icio.us, with a flush margin on both the left and the right. But when I tried to do it, it sucked because the internal spaces in the tags had been replaced by non-breaking space characters. Argh! This plugin, simple as it is, allows a tag to break across the column.

More importantly, it serves as a "Hello, Taggy!"-type example for how to build a filter for the wp_tag_cloud hook for your own future exploration.
