Prevent unwanted line breaks between inline MathJax and punctuation/suffixes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It appears that in rendered article HTML, an implicit word break is always inserted after an <inline-formula>. This means that depending on font/screen/browser size, line wrapping can insert a line break between the inline MathJax and the punctuation or suffix that immediately follows (period, comma, "s", "'s", "-ing", footnote callout, etc.). This results in those characters being awkwardly displayed at the start a new line, separated from the MathJax that they're meant to be "attached" to.

Alternatives
The latest author to report these unwanted line breaks suggested using the Word Joiner character (⁠) after the </inline-formula>, but that didn't fix the problem.

I tried moving the suffix/character within the <inline-formula> tag (e.g., <inline-formula><mml:math>...</mml:math>,</inline-formula>) and wrapping both the <inline-formula> tag and the suffix/character in a single <span> tag (e.g., <span><inline-formula><mml:math>...</mml:math></inline-formula>,</span>). Neither of these seemed to have any effect on the problem.

It seems like the only real workaround right now is to tag the punctuation/suffix characters as MathML text, but this isn't ideal because it causes those characters to display in math-mode font rather than regular text. It also doesn't offer a solution for a functional linked footnote callout.

Describe the solution you'd like
I found a Stack Overflow conversation about this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50633461/unwanted-word-breaks-after-inline-mathjax-formulae

One user suggested to "add a post-processing heuristic somewhere in your toolchain that wraps equations surrounded by non-whitespace in an element whose styling includes white-space: nowrap;; this will ensure that no breaks appear within."

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how is produced in rendered article HTML and where post-processing occurs, then reproduce wrapping with punctuation, suffixes, and footnote callouts at narrow widths. Done means adjacent text stays with inline MathJax without changing normal text styling.
