It could be made to work in full generality for jadetex (as unlike
arbitrary latex document) you only have a known fixed list of contexts
where - has to be interpretted as part of a number, and in everything
else it is a normal character to be typeset.) Getting the tex macros
right would be a bit tricky but not as hard as say writing an XML parser
in TeX.
