--- Comment #18 from [email protected] <[email protected]> ---
The link referenced above [1] points to the PDF specification's chapter on soft
hyphens (14.8.2.2.3) and the conclusion is that
"Thus, in PDF, the soft hyphen has unambiguously a meaning as a visible
character, i.e. the meaning presented in this document as the original one, and
incompatible with its Unicode semantics."

With the incompatible semantics between the Unicode specification and the PDF
specification on that soft-hyphen topic and Writer doing its own thing the most
risc-less and least inconvenient solution is to have CoreText treat the
soft-hyphen as a dash while still pretending to the software layers above that
the soft-hyphen remains unmolested. That's a difficult balancing act but it
seems to be possible.
