OOe 1.1 seems to have the usual hebrew-hyphen-number problem
("H-5" renders as "H5-"), which necessitates typing of the logically incorrect "H5-" and causes bad importing of newer MS Word documents.

What's the proper way to handle this? Using "hebrew hyphens" or something of the sorts?

I'm not sure how to tackle this particular problem. I think the best place to fix it would be at the root of the problem - the Unicode BiDi algorithm. I *think* I have a reasonably portable solution to this issue.
I guess it's time to register with another forum....
I'll also note that the entire BiDi editing experience is still awaiting revamping. That is work that is supposed to happen with Sun directly, possibly involving other parties as well. I promised to write a paper, but it is falling behind. Sorry everybody.
Once I have something to show, I'll be sure to let everyone (here, whatsup, ivrix, arabeyes) know so that proper feedback will be processed. We'll try to get it accepted as a standard, so that everyone gets to do Hebrew editing in a consistant manner.
