I don't think it's easy at all! Note that my argument really wasn't meant to be about apostrophes/quotation marks, but about the "word-joining hyphen". The apostrophe/quotation mark "situation" was used as example of other problems that (also) shouldn't be "solved" by introducing separate characters that aren't. > In all cases, you need knowledge of the language before trying to > implement a word-breaker for that language. Exactly! And in PRI #186 we learn that you need that knowledge of language and orthography for how to handle hyphens in word-breaking as well. That's more or less my point. Yes, there is a problem, but really not of a new kind that requires a new kind of solution. [I was alerted to the fact that mail here doesn't count as official feedback. I know. I will do proper feedback as well, but want to see if discussion here can influence my argument first.]
