In general, XSL FO relies on proper handling of Unicode character classes, and soft hyphen is the right way to specify custom hyphenation. > 1.

The spec relies on Unicode and XML; how unicode characters and XML syntax is treated is described in documents about Unicode and XML. > 2.

Zero width spaces are obviously not a solution. You don't get hyphenation. That is, FOP is not capable of handling soft hyphens. Fortunately, XSL FO is more than FOP.
