I can only give my personal opinion of how it should work,
which is exactly how I implemented it in the formally released code.
You and/or the other currently active developers should decide how
it should be in the devel code.
A soft hyphen (­ or ­) indicates positions in an
HTML stream where a line break can occur if needed, but should not
appear in the text unless a line break *was* made there and thus
the hyphen is on the end of the line.
