Hyphenation is a presentational problem. When you copy hyphenated text, you want the non-hyphenated version in the clipboard. We should avoid embedding presentational hyphenation tags in the actual text. I would suggest that the first priority is getting a naive hyphenator into browsers. Since you only ever need hyphenation when full-justifying, I would suggest: align: hyphenated; Once that is in place, we can start thinking about special cases. I would suggest a hyphenation dictionary in the <head> of the document. <html> <head> <title>Monkey grooming</title> <hyph word=3D"zo=EBven" points=3D"zo-even, zo=EB-ven"> <hyph word=3D"abstain" points=3D"ab-stain"> <hyph word=3D"quality" points=3D"qua-li-ty"> <hyph word=3D"hypertext" points=3D"hy-per-text"> <hyph word=3D"indefatigably" points=3D"in-de-fa-ti-ga-bly"> </head> <body> <p style=3D"align:hyphenate; width:5em;"> The zo=EBven hypertext must abstain from grooming monkeys in an indefatigably questionable fashion. The zo=EBven hypertext must abstain from grooming monkeys in an indefatigably questionable fashion. The zo=EBven hypertext must abstain from grooming monkeys in an indefatigably questionable fashion. </p> </body> </html> Thus, when people dislike the naive hyphenation of a word, they can specify one of their liking in the header. --=20 Leons Petrazickis
