[xep-support] Hyphenation tip

[David Cramer]

You could (programmatically?) add zero-width spaces in the places where 
you want the breaks. The DocBook XSLs have some code that does that for 
URLs.

For inspiration see this message on the docbook mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/docbook@lists.oasis-open.org/msg05030.html
And here is the xslt that contains the hyphenate-url template he mentions:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/xref.xsl

In your case I guess you'd want to rewrite it so it adds them between 
lower-case and upper-case characters. Alternatively, you could add 
processing instructions in your source, e.g. Upload<?sbr?>Vcs<?sbr?>Path 
and then have  template that sticks a zero-width space or soft hyphen 
character there. Then it will only break there if it needs to.
