Soft hyphens in ReportLab

When you add soft hyphens (&shy; = &#173;) as hints for splitting long 
words, they are recognized by ReportLab 3.5.34, but differently from 
HTML, they are always displayed, even inside the words. In HTML, you 
will only see the soft hyphen as visible hyphen where they actually 
split the word. Are soft hyphens supposed to work that way in ReportLab 
or should it be considered a bug?
