Thanks for all of your explanations. I am a new validator and the term
"emdash" was a new one. I get it now!

Hi,
No, it isn't that we're replacing hyphens with two
hyphens. It's the em dash, the long dash denoting a pause, that is
being replaced with two hyphens. We do this, because in braille
translation, the em dash is not translated correctly, but two dashes
are.
Peace,
Mayrie
