I have read the above link, and I understand the issue may be complicated.
However, I have seen in the above article that:
- in unicode, the character is meant to be a discretonary hyphen
- HTML 4 recommends to assign to the character the same meaning.
- Mozilla and Netscape hide the character from the stream, partially ignoring
  the problem, but acting substantially in accordance with the HTML 4 spec.

I think we should either do what Mozilla is doing in this case, or if it is not too \
difficult, do the extra step of using the hyphen as a line-break hint.

To make still better, the document should be hyphenated on the fly, but that
is not possible unless the document language is known. Until then, at least
we would give authors a way to improve the document look and legibility.

If the feature is implemented, the hyphen must be ignored when searching in the text, \
according to the above document. _______________________________________________
