This is too pedantic. If people have to follow a guideline that 
specifies the type of dash to use, no one will want to write documents. 
The users of the documents certainly won't care whether they're seeing 
an endash or an emdash. While I'm sure the this is a very important 
issue, it's not nearly as important as actually writing the documents.
