I really like the Korean text, and I'd love to see it go live. Regarding the incorrect splitting of names at a hyphen, can this be dealt with by using the Unicode non-breaking hyphen? http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2011/index.htm
Mappers would have to type the non-breaking hyphen instead of a regular hyphen, but the renderers should be able to do the right thing if a non-breaking hyphen is used. Otherwise someone has to write a whole bunch of complicated heuristics that would be horrible to maintain. Unless hyphens in place names should always be treated as non-breaking.
