How Can Your Ticket Exactly Match Your ID When You Have a Hyphen?

I know a number of people with hyphenated surnames (e.g., Smith-Jones). Most airline systems do not use hyphens (Virgin American being the one exception I know of personally), so what happens to people with hyphenated names when the exact match requirement kicks in? Unless the airlines change their systems (which they might), an exact match is impossible.
