Well, in the generated text is should be "--" with a space before and after. In my _opinion_ the spaces should be unbreakable.
But this would make TeX life impossible. In French, too, some thinks spaces before and after ``---'' should be unbreakble but it is not possible (and in French typography ``---'' floats freely).
