By the way, I _think_ the fotemods code (and, by virtue of using the same
code, the devel code) is attempting to support the 'decorative' use of
­ (for display of a hyphen-like character instead of line breaking),
in situations when it's not in a word.  (I was quite sure, but couldn't
find an entry about it in FOTEMODS or CHANGES when I just looked.)
I could never get an non-braking ­ to have any effect.  Does it not
work as expected, or do you have an example showing the use?

I don't necessarily miss that support though :) since the <SHY> tag is now
treated like a &shy; it would probably mean that sometimes <SHY> also
would result in display of a '-' in the middle of a line when it
shouldn't.
