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!
