IMO, the correct way of handling it is MS Word-like auto-correction.
The word processor should detect patterns like HYPEN-MINUS BETWEEN
WORDS and change it to a UNICODE DASH character, HYPHEN-MINUS BETWEEN
NUMBERS and change it to a UNICODE MINUS character. Not all patterns
have a single solution, so it requires some thinking through. I think
it's the Right Way(tm).
Another solution is to see the keyboard language and add direction
control characters.
