The argument was based on what happened to U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS. The change to the text then is to replace what is, in code order, 'CARROT IS car<U+002D>rot...' by 'CARROT IS car<U+002D, U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR>rot...'. One can even argue that this replacement would result from SHY under the rules of English typography. Reapplying the resolution rules, the left-to-right run now includes, even after truncation, 'car<U+002D>'.
