OK. So we are stuck. I want to come to a decision before beta1. I'm not
sure what to suggest. I get the feeling that we've had enough discussion
and further discussion will not lead to a unanimous agreement. In this
case, I suppose we need to take a vote. Can I get a +1 from someone else
that thinks a vote would be a good idea in this situation?
OK, now that I have gambled one of my feet on the minted debate, it is
time to put my second foot onto the hyphen mindfield (the trick is to
keep your foot firmly on the ground after hearing the 'click' of the
mine [1]).
I would really prefer a solution based on a special inset over another
one using ERT. Seriously, ERT is the theoretical solution, nobody wants
to really use it. This is the point where we see that Unicode is not the
solution to all of our problems...
So I see two solutions:
1/ we decide that our dedication to keeping the format of documents is
of the "best effort" kind and we do nothing (what about that for best
effort?)
2/ we introduce in 2.3 a special character that does whatever it needs
to do to preserve formatting

this is not really relevant to non-French-speaking people, and probably
not relevant either to French-speaking people born after 1980.
