I think you can use the Unicode soft hyphen (Unicode U+00AD) in Fop to achieve 
the same as what you did below in LaTex with the \- notation.

Subject: Using system hyphenation rules with additional custom exceptions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
I need to add a few custom exceptions for hyphenation because the standard 
hyphenation rules generate incorrect hyphenation of some foreign words. But I 
want FOP to load the system-wide hyphenation rules as well. When I tried to 
write a hyphenation XML with just the exceptions and no rules, FOP either 
crashed or didn't hyphenate anything but the excepted words (depending on 
whether or not there was an empty <patterns/> tag in the XML).

Is there some way to make FOP merge multiple hyphenation files for the same 
language or do I have to copy the whole system hyphenation file for my language 
and add my exceptions to the copy?

In LaTeX, I could solve this problem by simply hy\-phen\-a\-ting the word in 
the sources like this. FOP should also have some easy way to define hyphenation 
exceptions that doesn't involve copying system files.

Regards,
Martin Doucha
