It appears the current ICU-style basic wrapping is quite different from Mac OS X.  If I try wrapping text in TextEdit (which I assume is using standard NSTextView behaviour…) hyphen-minus is already behaving in the way this bug - and the unicode spec - suggests.  So that sounds like another reason this change would be a good thing :)

I'm not sure about deviations in platforms across a broader stateful algorithm - I would favour WebKit wrapping things nicely, despite the underlying platform, rather than duplicating behaviour that breaks layout.
