I'm forwarding a copy directly to you. Note, however, that that particular post dealt only with the issue of soft hyphens. When proofing a text having line ending punctuation is useful; when reading a text having line ending punctuation in place can be distracting, at best. That post was a proposal of a single method that might be used to reconcile these two competing interests. This method is only interesting if you are pursuing a single-source solution; if you're planning on using a single master file that /MUST/ be transformed before use there are probably better solutions.
