in your example you use indentation to get a narrower block (and as each 
line is a paragraph each line gets an indent box prepended) .. you 
should use leftskip (\startnarrower...) in such cases

so what if someone has

\hbox{some image or whatever unknonws}<character>

should character overflow into the box?

how is tex supposed to know the intentions

so if all gets a boundary mark in the end you end up with as many 
exceptions (maybe more) than when you get now
