Vladimir,
You know, that Russian babel short-hands do slightly more than just insert a
glyph from the font: they adjust the spacing around the em-dash (and the
length of the dash, too), and allow hyphenation of adjacent words (in case
of hyphens). So even in the case of Unicode input we need some macros to do
this job.
Vadim,
I concur with you on this. There is now generic support in polyglossia
for such shorthands to control hyphenation and typographic fine-tuning,
but until now only German and Dutch make use of them. If you are willing
to help on this, I'd be pleased to add the relevant macros to
gloss-russian.ldf. It might even be possible to copy them verbatim from
Babel, or with very minor adaptations. (You can contact me off-list if
you wish).
