Hmm. So we are back to the question. First, there are plenty places in
texbook.tex, where Knuth *didn't* put `~' after the indefinite
article. And second, neither Chicago Manual of Style, nor Bringhurst
even mention such rule.

IMHO line break after the indefinite article is not bad, because it
makes curios about the rest of the sentence. Of course it makes not
much sense, to make curios of sth. that ends right on the next line.

Best regards,
