Thanks for all the suggestions; you've all given me a lot to think about.
Hitch, could you tell me please what you mean by 'join the punctuation... to the prior word'? How do you do that?
Jon, I'm afraid I like ndashes a lot better than mdashes - perhaps because I have some visual impairment. As Hitch implies tastes vary.
