Mozilla is missing this since a long time : http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9101
I posting this to try to share thoughts about how Dave could say that about the change :
"I thought about just taking the Mozilla route and punting on soft hyphens (i.e., changing KHTML to always hide them), but it turned out to be no harder to just make KHTML work properly with them"
I can't imagine what trick he found to make this easy to implement.
Soft hyphen really seems to me an hard recursive problem in layout due to the varying width if you decide, or not, to break on it.
KHTML/Webcore is open source, so at some time it will be possible to get a look and there might be some interesting ideas coming out by seeing how this is done.
