Hyphenation does not seem to have been discussed on this list so far, and I

it should be.

General discussion:
    [1] http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTML-hyphenation.html

Old proposal:
    [2] http://www.nada.kth.se/i18n/html/hyph.html
[...]
The proposal [2] suggests the addition of a new <hyph> element, modelled after
TeX's \discretionary command (with a possibly superfluous addition), that 
permits
to specify which characters to render before/after a line break if the word is 
broken.

I think I like the style suggested by Mirsad Todorovac [1]. Even though I'm very familiar with SGML/XML style markup I find this

        zo<HYPH AFT="e">ë</HYPH><HYPH></HYPH>ven

much harder to understand than this

        <HYPH points="zo-even,zoë-ven">zoëven</HYPH>

I would prefer <HYPH choices="..."> instead for the latter case.
