The controversy surrounding the meaning of ­ (U+00AD) is probably
over, although Opera currently seems not to render this character in

Firefox does not hyphenate at all).
So as I understand it from
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTML-hyphenation.html ­ is not
enough because you have (theoretical) cases like:
zoëven -> zo-e-ven
I doubt this is really important to web pages though.
The W3C page also mentions "Of course, the simple cases could also be
handled with a `soft hyphen' (­), if browsers would only support it."
which is of course not an excuse to go around and introduce a new element!
