IE7 and the non-breaking hyphen

It seems to me that Internet Explorer 7 (as opposed to IE6)
displays the non-breaking-hyphen U+2011 or ‑
as some sort of dash rather than a hyphen.

See U+2011 #8209 at
http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/unicod...a20.html#x2010

My test page is
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nht...temp/2000.html
where Internet Explorer 7 displays

dir=ltr ‑

as some sort of dash but displays

dir=rtl ‑

as a regular hyphen. The typeface is Times New Roman;
the operating system is Windows XP.
