Seems like Andrei is dragging his feet over a fetish that only he cares 
about. Personally, I find hyphenation as a hindrance to readability, 
unless I'm reading a newspaper column. Maybe it's useful for mobile, but 
not if it degrades speed or does crap like flashing the page.

By the way, the worst idea I've seen is to do hyphenation statically on 
the server side. How does the server know in advance how wide my browser 
window is or the text size? It can't. It's the client's job to flow the 
text.
