Interesting read. Thanks for the link. I haven't gone into all detail but since XSL 1.0 has normative references into Unicode 3.0 and does not discuss "soft hyphen" directly I guess we need to follow the Unicode definition. Has anybody ever checked what other FO implementations do with "soft hyphen"?
