1.2.1 Relationship to HTML5
The XHTML document type defined by this specification is based on W3C [HTML5], and inherits all definitions of semantics, structure and processing behaviors from the HTML5 specification unless otherwise specified.

"HTML5 Differences from HTML4" describes the differences of the HTML5 specification from those of HTML4.
1.4 Backward Compatibility
HTML is defined in a way that is backward compatible with the way user agents handle content. To keep the language relatively simple for Web developers, several older elements and attributes are not included, as outlined in the other sections of this document, such as presentational elements that are better handled using CSS.
User agents, however, will always have to support these older elements and attributes. This is why the HTML specification clearly separates requirements for Web developers (referred to as "authors" in the specification) and user agents; for instance, this means that Web developers cannot use the isindex or the plaintext element, but user agents are required to support them in a way that is compatible with how these elements need to behave for compatibility with Web content.

Moreover - SOFT-HYPHEN is part of Unicode standard and must be supported by user agents:
