Just to be clear I'm not a fan of manually using soft hyphens - they make the code hard to read and should only be used when automated hyphenation gets it wrong.
But they should not interfere with search and when an author needs to use them, the glyph should be there even on systems that don't use it. Which means the author has to embed a font because many devices seem to have a bug where that codepoint isn't available. Guess it would have made their system fonts a few bytes bigger...
Really fonts on devices probably should at least support all codepoints used in Windows-1252 if not WGL4. But they clear don't. So there is a need to embed.
