PS: An interesting alternative would be to do almost the opposite: inserting soft hyphen characters at all possible hyphenation points. Of course, this would increase the size of HTML files a lot, but it could improve the appearance of the text. Are there browsers available which honour shc?
I hadn't read your message when I sent my off-list reply. Yes, HTML4 browsers should honour ­, but many are kinda iffy on that front.
I fear that the commercial product that told you about that does just what you said may have a patent on the process. Yes, patenting the obvious, as usual.
