It's not a technical issue, but a musical issue. Normal slurs are melismata 
(so only one lyrics syllable is assigned to the whole sequence of slurred 
notes), while a phrasing slur is something completely different from a 
musical standpoint. A phrasing slur means that a whole sequence of notes with 
their own lyrics has to be sung/played legato as a phrase (i.e. no audible 
breathing!).

Cheers,
Reinhold
