We do this all the time. People coming from Word-type backgrounds often
have habits they need to unlearn if they are going to use LyX effectively.
Yes, and because it is the right way to do it, if we do say so
ourselves.
... which I daubt.
See below.
The way it is done now leads to bad spacing and related
problems. You see them all the time in Word-produced documents.

I think I have explained this several times now. The Unicode glyph does
not give proper spacing. This leads people to type " [glyph] ", with
spaces around it, in an effort to correct for that, and then you get the
glyph on a new line. I see it all the time in things my students write.
I propose to replace all the Unicode glyphs with proper LaTeX dashes and
to update the User's Guide to explain why "---" and the Unicode version
are NOT equivalent, even if they print the same character.
I am against this. The Unicode version is more generic. Not all fonts
will replace --- by an em-dash.
As Jurgen said, do you have an example? And, as I've said, the Unicode
version gives the wrong spacing.
