line break and hyphenation

[patrik.nyman]

I'm doing markup of some original texts, and want
to be able too optionally keep the line breaks of
the original. But sometimes a word is hyphenated
at a line break. At TEI-L I found the proposition
to encode such cases as

<reg orig="hyphe|nated">hyphenated</reg>

This seems good because the word is availabe for
greping etc. My problem is, how do I write an xslt
template to deal with this? I want to be able to
get both 'hyphe-<br/>nated' and 'hyphenated' as
output. Is there someone who can help me?

and 'hyphenated' as output.

Hello again, Pavel!

What have you tried?

It was too lame to show in public...

Your code works brilliantly (of course). Thanks a lot
for helping me out again, I really appreciate it.

Merry Christmas,
