DPRK seems to know a LOT more than HTML. They are not dependent on (read vulnerable to) the Internet in the burgeoning ways of the rest of the world. They clearly see it asymmetrically, as our Kryptonite:
This doesn't tell me they know what they're doing. This tells me they are scrambling for a few million here and there when they can. Wouldn't you guess that a state funded actor could be much more dangerous than encrypting your personal files and demanding $400 while leaving a kill switch easily available?
Here's where the common usage of first and last name break down: his family name is Kim. I suspect it's along the lines of what you're getting at: to keep the name together.
I'm not sure how interesting this is in and of itself. It might be interesting to see if this is a special case. If it is, is there a particular reason for it? One could speculate all kinds of reasons, but I'm not sure how useful that is without actually knowing why.
If you look at [the site](http://www.kcna.kp), none of the other names there (even Ri Sol Ju who i think is his wife) are in the tag – so it must be a facet of their content mgmt system

Un in official.
But we also know that isn't the only reason. If you are his age with nukes I guess most would have H1 tag wrapped around it too.
Can't see what the fuss is about, other than that NK knows how to use HTML.
This is a disturbing leap in their technological capabilities. Whats next? Nukes? That would be unthinkable.

Turns out it's a non-standard tag. FireFox supports it though and the Red Star OS uses a browser that is a fork of Firefox[0].
My understanding is that the Red Star OS is the only OS used in North Korea. So I guess that means in North Korea, `nobr` _is_ in the standard.
