When a trailing soft-hyphenation character exists for the end of

dash?  Is this expected?

Actual

I ran your example with three XSL-FO processors and one of them showed what you expect and two of them showed it in error.


I won't go with the majority here, I'll assume the one that rendered what you expect to be correct.

So talk with your XSL-FO vendor about the issue. I would have expected the same as you.
