Hi Tom,

The hyphens are not disappearing from the Ukrainian geographical names. 
The names are just always spit in two lines at a hyphen for some towns. 
Exactly as for Wotton-under-Edge 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotton-under-Edge> in the UK. Google map 
shows the name /Wotton-under-Edge/ always in one line on the map: 
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6338253,-2.3526667,14.95z?hl=en , but 
the OSM map always shows this name split in two lines.


In France too some towns' names are always rendered in two lines now. 
For example: Saint-Jean-d'Angély 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jean-d%27Ang%C3%A9ly> : 
http://osm.org/go/equZGaGg-- . Maybe it is an indented feature now, 
however at Google and Bing maps such town names are displayed in on 
line, as it should be.


Best regards,

Oleksiy
