This is to be informative not argumentitive. I have asked print readers,
and have found out that double dashes are sometimes used instead of the long
m-dash in print, so it is not only braille readers that find it an
acceptable alternative. That does not mean that m-dash should not be used
when possible, however, since m-dash was probably used in the book being
scanned, and it is the more common symbol.
I just don't want anyone to get all bent out of shape about them. :-)
