I think it’s worth pointing out that in that document the hyphens in words are also encoded by U+002D though (e.g. “non-governmental”, page 5). This is very normal: it is even the same in the Unicode Standard where they say to prefer U+2010. (This could be a limitation of the software used to produce the document: it looks like TeX to me, and that will output U+002D even if you feed it U+2010 as input.) If we’re trying to imitate usage in other sources, I think it would be necessary to find one that uses U+2010 in words but still U+002D in dates (unless we are also re-opening the debate about which hyphen to use in words on MB).
