Hi ken,
Yes !

@Frenzie : I thought I read something about it last year but can't find it anymore. All I can find now is papers stating how bothering are soft hyphen...

There is a mention here :
https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.3.3

In HTML, there are two types of hyphens: the plain hyphen and the soft hyphen. The plain hyphen should be interpreted by a user agent as just another character. The soft hyphen tells the user agent where a line break can occur.

Those browsers that interpret soft hyphens must observe the following semantics: If a line is broken at a soft hyphen, a hyphen character must be displayed at the end of the first line. If a line is not broken at a soft hyphen, the user agent must not display a hyphen character. For operations such as searching and sorting, the soft hyphen should always be ignored.
