Oh, that... what a nightmare
In this case I'm more pragmatic and add thin non-breaking spaces where needed.

The idea was to embed a font with a negative kerning between and ! and other punctuation for the French spacing rules, sensitive only when xml:lang="fr" is in effect.

You can use language selectors in CSS and in ePub... but Adobe will ignore them. With OpenType you could add different set of rules (kernings, ligatures, etc.) to the font, and switch one or the other through CSS, at least in theory, I doubt support for this is quite extended. But anyway, that would require you to embed a font for the text, which is something you should think again several times before doing.
