RFC 7322 §1:
The world of technical publishing has generally accepted rules
for
grammar, punctuation, capitalization, sentence length and

CMOS 15th ed §7.89:
"When the second part of a hyphenated _expression_ is omitted,
the hyphen is retained, followed by a word space.
"fifteen- and twenty-year mortgages
