That was a tagged paragraph without a tag, so I gave it one.
Without a tag, I don't understand the point of calculating an indent
(\w'punctuation'u+2n) for the non-tagged lines of the paragraph, of
which there were none in the original.

One of the advantages of some of them is that, if people think to use
them, they relieve the writer of having to remember to supply italic
corrections:
\/ Increases the width of the preceding glyph so that the
spacing between that glyph and the following glyph is
correct if the following glyph is a roman glyph.
\, Modifies the spacing of the following glyph so that the
spacing between that glyph and the preceding glyph is
correct if the preceding glyph is a roman glyph.
